2001 ford taurus runs good but will not move when put into gear.

sounds like you have a manual transmission. ?
Worn Clutch plates will give these symptoms
The clutch plates rub together and provide connection between the gear box and the drive shaft if not worn.
Also check the cable for the clutch is not loose and needs a surclip to hold it in at the firewall.
Check if Hydraulic Clutch that there is adequate clutch fluid if low might have leaking clutch master cyclinder

I have experienced this in a car I owned.
Not a lot of fun . Resulted in needing a Tow to repair garage and new clutch was AUD $1200 a couple of years ago.

2006 after putting gas in my the check engine light came on,had oil changed one week ago first time this has happen .while driving the car its jerking and shaking also doing this sitting. please help.

You could have picked up some bad gas, but it's more likely that your gas cap is not sealed all the way - a common problem. Tighten the cap - if it's the problem the car will start running smoothly almost immediately and the check engine light will reset itself in a day or two.

Car randomly jerking when acclerating

It sounds like its a coilpack. Its hard to say whick one, but it can have hot fire running slow. Then when the demand go's up and running faster it fails. So it might be a little expensive but I would go ahead and replace all of em. Prob lesss than 100 tho.

Car jerks and vibrates when at a stop lgiht

Hi, i recommend changing the fuel filter and pump as well. this is common when you have restricted fuel flow through the fuel lines due to a clogged filter and faulty pump. I would also recommend having the injectors purged with a fuel additive called Techtron injector/tank treatment. this will clean out the carbon build up in the intake and it will also clean the injectors as well.

EXTRA--

I recommend applying a tune up by adding new wires and plugs. this is extra maintenance and it is optional. i do recommend applying this along with the above suggestions.

Please rate and have a great day:)
