1999 Ford Taurus 182/3.0L DOHC 24Valve is the problem...the question is... Where can I find a OEM Parts list for this vehicle...? Specifically, the Hoses used in ventilating the valve covers and vacuum lines associated with this mature vehicle...thank you in [email protected]

There is a technical sevice bulletin for this exact issue. Go to the dealer and request they reprogram the pcm. You should not pay more than a half hour labor, they'll probably try to get a diagnosis fee out of you. Tell them no, just reprogram the pcm to latest calibration. If this doesn't fix it, then repost or pay to chat, but that should fix ya.

Try the idle air control valve since it raises the idle when you turn on a load to the engine.
