 Thanks Abe. The link has some descriptions that match
My problem very closely so I'm about 99% sure we've found it.
I have a couple more questions, appreciate your patience!
1. I'm still not quite sure how to get to this part. You said where the distributor used to be and I'm guessing at the right end of the motor as you stand in front of the car looking at the motor. Between the cylinder banks on top of the motor.
The author of the Taurus club post said you had to cut the plastic tray that supports a bundle of wires.
Do you know where I could look at a photograph or diagram?
2. I replaced the spark plugs recently, the old ones looked original. The car ran much better but developed a "miss" under load after about 1000 miles. After about another 1000 miles, the "squeak" started. Do you think the missing or hesitation could be caused by the camshaft position sensor?
Thanks, appreciate all the help. John |
