My 2001 ford taurus with the standard V6 engine (200,000 miles) has alot of trouble starting... The battery is just 2 months old, and the mass airflow sensor, timing sensor, and starter have been replaced. It usually takes at least two tries to actually start the engine. But this morning (around 40-45 degrees) the car wouldn't start and in fact, wouldn't even sound like it might start.

Check compression on each cylinder and fuel pressure,I dont know if you have the tools,but for that engine whit 200,000 miles,I think the compression is down,at least you got to have 75 of compression on each cylinder.

I bought a 2008 Ford Taurus X 6 months ago. It had high miles. 97k. I am hearing a kind of clicking noise when it's idling. My hubs said it sounds like the lifters. Is this an easy fix and how much does it...
That is a major repair on todays overhead cams
Forget even thinking about that

Today you have to go over 200,000 miles
to be considered high mileage
