First speed erratic; a simple scan of the OBD2 computer will output any issues you may be having. With that you can tell if it is the sensor, the ****** or something else. Without any further information it could be any number of things.


Hope this helps.

SOURCE: 1996 ford taurus odometer stopped working

the Speedo in your car is electronic, the problem is the tiny motor that moves the needle is most likely defective, there are no parts for the Speedo available to the consumer from Ford, you must remove the Speedo and have it repaired by a authorized Speedo repair shop. here is a link to a good one I know about.

SOURCE: 1996 ford taurus 3.0 ohv camshaft position sensor

Yes you do the fuel and ignition timing is controled by that sensor and if it set in there wrong the car will not run very well.They may give you a plastic tool to set the sensor in but every one that has been set in by that tool has been wrong.In order to get that sensor put in correct you need get the tool that you can rent from most of your good auto parts stores.

SOURCE: i cannot find the transmission speed

your looking for the turbine speed sensor a.k.a transmission speed sensor and not the vechile spees sensor correct? they are two different sensors! the transmission speed sensor is on the side of the transmission facing the side of the car around 11 o'clock in relation to the output shaft witch is where the cv axle goes in! if it is the vechile speed sensonr then it is on top of the transmission tail house for the other output shaft and the other cv goes too. if you follow the transmisssion dip stick down to the transmission it is in that area! good luck

96 ford taurs VSS

The trick is to snake your arm down the back, ajacent to the maifold pipe, and unplug the wiring harness. Should be a 10mm socket to unscrew the bolt that holds the sensor in place. Once the screw was out it was easy to pull the sensor out and rush to Auto Zone and get a new one. Reverse the process in putting the sensor in.

I have a 96 for taurus. While driving it starts

This is a good indication that the catalytic converter is bad.  Other symptoms include a smelly sulphur like exhaust, a lot of heat coming from the exhaust (in the middle of the car), a lot of smoke from the exhaust.
