My automatic transmission shifts rough from first to second on my 2001 Ford Taurus second to third is good any ideas what component is bad.

How many miles are on the transmission? If it's over 100k, it could be the 1st-to-2nd shift solenoid in the transmission. My 01 Ranger started to do the same thing, and that's what the issue was.

01 taurus 303 code

sounds more like a valve problem. Weak valve spring or worn valve guide. Something mechanical that changes when the engine heats up.

I have a 2001 Taurus....when I start it it revs up

Have the throttle sensor checked. Go to Auto Zone, or Advance Auto, and have them hookup the scanner. There is no charge for this. See if there are any codes present. Good luck.

Changed the fuel pump in 2001 ford Taurus afterwards car wont do anything, not even attempt to crank and i don't hear the fuel pump prime.

Is battery fully charged? And possibly could be fuel regulator also. There is a YouTube video about something like this...vacuum line might have a hole and fuel pump may have connections backwards..

When i start my 2001 ford taurus it idles high for a short time then goes to normal

That is because the transmission is timed with the throttle position sensor and the idle air control valve on automatic transmissions. If the position sensor starts to fail you will have usually high, low, or erratic throttle and it will act as if the transmission is slipping. Have a mechanic clean your throttle body, replace the gasket, change the IAC motor, and throttle position sensor. Its what they should do to your car anyway for a full tune up but its rare anyone does it anymore. So i always do my own and you definitely feel the difference

2001 ford taurus power draining new battery & new alternater won't work when cables are removed from battery

That suggests that the problem is in the harness, something in the connector or wiring is causing an open circuit. You will need to have the circuit tested to find the fault. Ford alternators have known connector issues & new aftermarket connectors are readily available at most auto parts stores.

All the lights came on and the car just died

I assume that when you say all the lights came on ... refers to all the dashboard lights and NOT your headlight/tail lights? I found the following reference for a 2013 Ford Focus: On my way home on the freeway, my oil & battery light started flickering on and off at the same time and as it did the car was stalling out. I put my 4-way flashers on, slowed down and moved to the right lane as a safety measure. After another few miles both lights came on and stayed on and the car shut down. I pulled over to the berm, waited a few minutes, tried starting, it started and drove home with no issues. I drove to work the next day with no issues. On the way home things started happening again, the car shut down, but this time after waiting a few minutes the car never started. I had it towed to the dealer and they found that a wiring harness was up against the throttle body and wore through the protective insulating tape, then the wires causing the problem. Another cause might be that a relay in the fuse/relay box under the hood broke Good luck in your troubleshooting

My brake sensor keeps lighting

If I remember correctly, the Trans Range Sensor, has ALL kinds of GREAT STUFF inexplicably routed through it. It can cause some quite crazy things to happen. There is Heater Hose that likes to leak on the Trans Range Sensor. Look and see if it was contaminated.
