SOURCE: 1999 Ford Taurus mechanical problem
Hello,
your problem appears to be the idle control motor located on the air intake manifold it is a small motor that goes bad quite often. Other items that can cause this is a bad /clogged air filter or a tune up (spark plugs and wires), or clogged fuel injectors. to clean the injectors you can buy a container of fuel system cleaner and pour it into the gas tank and as you drive it cleans the system.
Once the fuel system is cleaned via a tankful of cleaner & gas then the idle controller motor would be next on the list to be replaced.
Good Luck !

I would suggest replacing the coil pack. Thanks and good luck with your repair.
SOURCE: where is the oil sending unit on a 1996 ford
On 3.0L OHV engines, the oil pressure sensor is located on the left
side of the engine block above the flywheel. On 3.0L DOHC engines the
sensor is located on the left side of the engine block above the oil
filter. On 3.4L DOHC engines the sensor is screwed into the oil filter
adapter. The oil pressure sensor operates the oil pressure warning lamp.

Hope help with this (remember rated this help). Good luck.
SOURCE: 2003 Ford Taurus cylinder misfire #1 and #5 code
Had a similar issue with a 2003 ford taurus. Error codes of p305 misfire on cylinder 5 and first 1000 rotations. It did not smell like eggs. Rough/vibrating idle and lacking power at times.
Replaced spark plugs and wires. On the mine a 2003, I needed to remove the upper intake manifold, i believe it is called. Note not to pull out tubes on bottom when you life. This was to get at the rear spark plugs. 10mm 8mm 7mm and a flat head screw drive is all it took o and about 4 hours, im no mechanic : P I also used a splash of seafoam on the EGR valve and replaced the seal. I was impatient so i didnt soak it like I had read.
Anyways, turns out one of the spark plug wire boots had burnt. Also, 2 were severely corroded. This seems to be the solution, a basic tune up i guess.
