The first thing you must do is check for fuel delivery, you may have run out of gas even if the gage says there is fuel in it.

That would be in the owner's manual. If you don't have one try eBay for a used one, they are cheap.

If the speedometer stops working the odometer stops also. Sounds like it is stuck in first gear. The RPM went up because the throttle was response to pedal but transmission not response. Check transmission fluid color. Whip off dipstick on a white paper towel look for gray if see any that is metal shavings and transmission is bad.

Probably Fuse, Relay, column switch. I'd start wth the fuse, then check the relay. (Assuming the driving beams work.) There should be a relay box under the hood, likely drivers side. If you're mechanical, you can swap the relay for headlights with another one of the same model/type. Swap temporarily, and if lights then work, just replace th relay for the light.

I had a similar problem with a Caddy; after inserting fuel spout, back it off slightly-SLIGHTLY-don't know why it worked, but it sure made my life easier. Maybe the angle of fuel flow changes? At any rate, it usually worked.

Resubmit in understandable English for assistance.

No not really. You can upgrade to an 05, 06 for that money.

To remove and replace the heater core, you must pretty much tear the dashboard out of the vehicle, including disconnecting and lowering the steering column. Time consuming work, and can result in squeaks and other issues if not done correctly and carefully. Also have to deal with air bags, since they are in the dash and steering column.

A sensor inside steering column is malfunctioning

the use box near the battery represents your main fuse box which handles all other fuse link and heavy electrical loads of your vehicle

Ignition switches are tough customers. Especially on cars with air bags. If you car has an air bag, get a Haynes or Chilton manual to show you what to do. Many times a special tool is needed to remove the steering wheel. If this gets complicated, take it to a recommended shop.

Sounds more like a bad fuel injector issue. Not enough info to diagnose. If less than 100,000 miles, then probably _not_ fuel pump.

If the steam is rising from the radiator and not from the overflow tank or hose then you do have a leak.. in the radiator. check for a cracked tank or fitting where the hoses connect. If it is making steam the guage is probably defective. Find out where that steam is coming from ! If the car is making steam the rad fan should probably be running.. I do not know about your particular car but some times the secon fan only comes on with A/C use or extream heat.

Inside transmission ! You need to drop the pan !

Hello Saundra , the fuse # Is 19 in the under hood fuse / relay box . Also check the horn relay located in the same under hood fuse / relay box . Do you have a volt ohm meter ? you could test the both circuits right from the relay socket in the under hood fuse relay box . If you knew how ! VEHICLE RELAYS Operation Diagnosis

You didn't say if it would start. If it will not start, it is a dead battery.

To replace the timing cover on the 3rd Generation is an a time consuming job, but can be done home with the proper tools. First thing to do is unhook the battery. Once that is done you can now begin. Started with trying to drop the Y-pipe, it wasn't happening in my case and for other this will more then likely be the case. The flange stud on the rear were so rusted, there was no nut or threads. For more info please go to: http://www.taurusclub.com/forum/82-maintenance-repair/170789-timing-cover-removal-instructions-3rd-generation.html This could give you an entire idea of the huge job that need to be done i think is better to have a specialist working on it I hope it helps
