20 Most Recent 1993 Ford Taurus Questions & Answers

Hi, definitely a weak orange spark won't start up your car and i will advise you to check out the coil....

It is inside the that box on top of radiator with large wire plug. it cannot be replaced by itself. You must replace the whole unit.

The camshaft position sensor sends a signal to the PCM, powertrain control module. The PCM then determines spark plug firing. Could be the camshaft position sensor.

1996 is all I have
Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor 3.0L (2V) Engine
The camshaft position sensor (CMP sensor) (12126):

• is a single Hall-effect magnetic switch activated by a single vane which is driven by the camshaft (6250).
• provides camshaft position information which is used by the ignition coil (12029) and the powertrain control module (PCM) (12A650) for fuel synchronization.

3.0L (4V) Engine
The camshaft position sensor (CMP sensor) (6B288) is:

• a variable reluctance sensor.
• triggered by the high-point mark on the LH exhaust camshaft sprocket (6256).

-----------------
3.0L (2V) Engine
SPECIAL SERVICE TOOL(S) REQUIRED Description Tool Number Syncro Positioning Tool T95T-12200-A
CAUTION: Prior to removal of the camshaft position sensor (CMP sensor) (12126), set cylinder No.1 to zero degrees top dead center (TDC) of compression stroke. Then note the position of the camshaft position sensor electrical connector. The installation procedure requires that the connector be located in the same position.
Removal

1. Disconnect battery ground cable. Refer to Section 14-01 .
   

1. Disconnect engine control sensor wiring connector from camshaft position sensor.
   

1. Remove camshaft position sensor retaining screws and camshaft position sensor from camshaft position sensor housing.
   

1. If removing camshaft position sensor housing from the cylinder block (6010), proceed with Removal Step 5. If not removing camshaft position sensor housing, proceed to installation Step 6.
   

1. Remove hold-down clamp (bolt and washer assembly).
   

1. Remove camshaft position sensor housing from cylinder block.
   

Installation

1. CAUTION: A special service tool such as Syncro Positioning Tool T95T-12200-A must be obtained prior to installation of the replacement camshaft position sensor. Failure to follow this procedure will result in improper camshaft position sensor alignment. This will result in the fuel system being out of time with the engine, possibly causing engine damage.
   Attach Syncro Positioning Tool T95T-12200-A as follows:
   
   1. Engage camshaft position sensor housing vane into the radial slot of the tool.
   1. Rotate tool on camshaft position sensor housing until tool boss engages notch in camshaft position sensor housing.

1. Pre-lubricate synchronizer gear with engine oil meeting Ford specification ESE-M2C123-A prior to assembly.
   

1. Install camshaft position sensor housing so that drive gear engagement occurs when arrow on locator tool is pointed approximately 75 degrees counterclockwise from the rear face of the cylinder block. This step will locate camshaft position sensor electrical connector in the pre-removal position.
   

1. Roatate Syncro Positioning Tool T95T-12200-A clockwise slightly. This will engage oil pump intermediate shaft. Push downward while adjusting Syncro Positioning Tool T95T-12200-A until the Syncro Gear engages the camshaft gear.
   

1. When synchronizer flange is fully seated against block, the installation tool should be facing counterclockwise of engine centerline approximately 33 to 45 degrees.
   

1. Install hold-down clamp (washer and bolt) and tighten bolt to 19-30 Nm (14-22 lb-ft).
   

1. Remove Syncro Positioning Tool T95T-12200-A.
   

1. CAUTION: If camshaft position sensor electrical connector is not positioned properly, DO NOT reposition the connector by rotating the camshaft position sensor housing. This will result in the fuel system being out of time with the engine, possibly causing engine damage. Remove the camshaft position sensor housing and repeat installation procedure, beginning with Step 1.
   Install camshaft position sensor and retaining screws. Tighten screws to 1.5-4.0 Nm (13-35 lb-in).
   

1. Connect engine control sensor wiring connector to camshaft position sensor.
   

1. Connect battery ground cable.

Check the fuel injector ground circuit from the ECM

the plug is located infront of the passenger seat on the firewall. there is a small square plug and a bigger triangular plug that are connected. i have a taurus 93 sho.

there is no spring tensioner on some of the 3.0 engines. See instructions below. I will paste a pic on the version that DOES have a tensioner at the bottom of this post.

3.0L Engine-Except SHO
ALTERNATOR BELT WITHOUT AUTOMATIC TENSIONER

1. Loosen the adjusting arm and pivot bolts.
2. Turn the alternator belt adjusting screw counterclockwise until the old belt can be removed.
3. Remove the belt.

To install:

1. Install the new belt over the pulleys. Check that all the V-grooves make proper contact with the pulleys.
2. Adjust the belt tension, then tighten the adjusting arm and pivot bolts.

3.0L SHO Engine
ALTERNATOR BELT
See Figure 2

1. Loosen the nut in the center of the idler pulley.
2. Loosen the idler adjusting screw until the old belt can be removed, then remove the belt.

To install:

1. Install the new belt over the pulleys in proper contact with the pulleys.
2. Adjust the new belt to specifications as follows: Turn the idler pulley nut to the right to tighten the belt to a specification of 220-265 lbs. (980-1180 N). Torque the idler pulley nut to 25-37 ft. lbs. (34-50 Nm).

POWER STEERING AND AIR CONDITIONING BELT
See Figure 2

1. Remove the alternator belt.
2. Loosen the nut on the tensioner pulley.
3. Turn the belt adjusting screw on the tensioner counterclockwise until the belt can be removed, then remove the belt.

To install:

1. Position the new belt over the proper pulleys, making sure the V-grooves are properly seated.
2. Install the alternator belt.
3. Adjust the power steering and air conditioning belt to a specification of 154-198 lbs. (690-980 N) with a belt tension gauge.
4. Adjust the alternator belt.

3.0L Engine (Except SHO) and 3.8L Engine
VEHICLES THROUGH 1993 WITH AUTOMATIC TENSIONER
See Figures 4 and 5

1. Insert a 1 / 2 in. breaker bar into the square hole in the tensioner.

On the 3.8L engine, the tensioner has a1/2in. square hole cast into the rear of the tension arm directly behind the pulley. On the 3.0L engine, the1/2in. square hole is cast into the spring housing on the front of the tensioner.

1. Rotate the tensioner clockwise and remove the belt.

Fig. Fig. 5: 3.8L belt schematic-1993 shown

To install:

1. Install the drive belt over all the pulleys, except for the alternator pulley on the 3.0L engine for vehicles through 1992, or the idler pulley for 1993 3.0L vehicles.
2. Rotate tensioner counterclockwise and install the belt over the alternator pulley. Make sure that all the V-grooves make proper contact with the pulleys.
3. On the 3.0L engine, install the alternator belt for vehicles through 1992.
4. For 1993 3.0L vehicles, install the drive belt over the idler pulley.

Its possible. May be coil pack too.

Check fuses to the headlights

run the fault codes to find the faulty sensor sensors that control the exhaust emissions are the HO2S ( heated oxygen sensors in the exhaust manifold/s the O2 sensor ( oxygen sensors after the cat converters ) and the EGR unit that recycles exhaust gas back through the engine to re-burn the gasses

Power steering pump is either out or since you instaled lines backwards you blew the seals inside rack and pion

The Electronic Flasher is located behind LH side of the instrument panel, above fuse panel. you have to get on your back in front of the drivers seat ,,,with a flash light and look under the dash ,,, on the left side of the steering column tucked under the dash is a black square relay looking thing ,,this is your turn signal flasher ,,

Standard Motor Products NS58 Neutral Backup Switch This is what it looks like, it should be located where the shift cable attaches at the transmission

There are two sensors. The speedometer cable has a speed sensor,and there's a turbine speed sensor on the drivers side of the trans case. There are also shift solenoids inside the trans attached to the valve body.

Ignition control module or PCM problem or pick up coil ! The CCRM - constant control relay module just has control relays for the fuel pump , cooling fans , A/C clutch coil control , PCM power . Nothing that would make the coil fire continuosly . I would check out videos on youtube test ford ignition system's ScannerDanner gets his but kicked by an 88 150 EEC IV Ignition

Check your negative terminal on battery , for corrosion !

Have the alternator checked , not charging .

Unbolt it
