After checked generator. The voltage out from generator was 14.1-14.3 Volt. He said its ok also, but still battary warn light is on. When i start the car the light is of but during 2 minutes it the battary light turnes on.Do you have any ideas what could be reason of that? Im in Georgia, Tbilisi so that mostly local masters dont understand the system of US cars. Thank you in advance.

Other than being a ford, other than being a taurus, can someone please give me some insight as to what's wrong with this car? Its driving me crazy. I've only had it a month and already I've had to sink a load of money into it. It drove fine during the test-drive. Looked great, sounded great, drove great. I forked over the cash and it hasn't run right since. It started with a subtle miss. I changed the plugs and wires. Still missed. Then the check engine light came on, I had the codes pulled and a new camshaft position sensor put in. Light went off, light came back, pulled codes again. The guy claimed he just needed to reset the code. He did. Light came on again. It started missing like mad, thought it was water in tank, added gas treatment, it got worse. Light went off. Now my heat doesn't work, my dash clock won't keep proper time, and my radio screws up when turned on (says theres no fm stations) 1998 Ford Taurus LX V-6 3.0 130K Please help me!

1/ What is the vehicle with the gasoline engine that has wooden, moving, mechanical parts?
2/ What is the name of the Engineer on the blueprints of the car and engine that has the wooden, internal, moving, parts?
Any car buff person out there who has a history of this car/engine and who designed it and why they chose to use wooden parts inside an engine in the first place?
Thanks for your help on this one !

After sitting for a long while in a line with my 98 Chrysler town and country minivan, I noticed the overheat light on and the temperature gage all the way up. I pulled out of the line and started driving and within 3 or 4 seconds the temperature gage dropped down to normal. Just got the vehicle and had greasemonkey check the fluids so I assume the antifreeze level is ok. Any ideas?
Thanks

I flushed the radiator and added 2 gallons of prestone antifreeze in it, then all of a sudden I start to run hot for about 2 straight weeks constantantly adding prestone anti-freeze my coolant needle was in and out of the overheating range and every time I would check my radiator the antifreeze would be low as if it was dissappearing so I kept on adding this reagular prestone antifreeze into my radiator when I noticed a label on top of my radiator that read"This vehical takes Dex-cool antifree" so I instantly added 2 gallons of Dex-cool antifreeze into my radiator with the engine running and the heater on, ten minutes later thick white smoke start to come out the exhaust and out the engine so I took it to the shop and it was a blown heads and water in the block my question is was the reagular prestone anti freeze was the reason my car was running hot? and will I be better off buying a rebuilt engine or replacing the heads?
