SOURCE: 2001 ford taurus wont start and anti-theft light is blinking

Either you may be using a key that you had copied from the original or your chip went bad in your original key. Most of cars now a days have the key censor in the key so if it is the incorrect key it will not start your car or if it does not read that chip it will not start

SOURCE: oil light

You could also have a weak pressure relief valve in the oil pump, or weak pump. You said the light flickers when you come to a stop. If your car is equipped with one, have the oil level sensor checked. It's mounted on the front of the oil pan.With the oil sloshing around in the oil pan and a bad sensor, would also cause the light to flicker. IF THE CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH ONE.
As for the key, if there is an ace hardware near you, go there, they can do it, the one here does, about $69.00. A dealer, probably a lot more.

Code p0715 for a 2001 ford taurus transmission light is on

Yes the code is for the speed sensor mounted to the side of the transmission. The sensor takes the place of the speedometer cable.
You can look up the part online for a visual. The sensor would need to be tested as it could be something else causing the problem.

1999 Ford taurus. My car whines/hums when it starts up and becomes higher pitched when I accelerate or the rpms go up. Becomes lower pitched as the rpms go down.. Transmission?

no this is not the transmission, based on my experience it is most likely the power steering pump, if is the single most common source of this type of noise in any Ford

Ruff idle on my 2001 for taurus. At higher rpms it runs fine.

It is most likely you wheel alignment (costs about 20 bucks to have your wheels aligned) or try checking the tire Pressure to make sure they're all even maybe hope this helps

Chirping when @3500 to 4000 rpms, 2000 taurus

3500 rpms is about 80 mph. Is this noise in 1st, 2nd & 3rd gear? Is check engine light on?
Chirping could be accessory belt noise. Spray them one at a time with belt dresing to see if it goes away and which belt is doing it.

2001 Ford Escape - Bucking Engine

You need to tow this car to a service station almost immediatly, depending on what exactly is wrong you could be further damaging the vehicle. With the description you give it could be a whole mess of things but i would start with your fuel system. Have your fuel pump looked at and your injectors as well. this could also be as simple as a bad batch of gas/ water in the gas but it would not really explain why the problem ocours at higher rpms like that. Hope this helps
