I have ford taurus93' when I put some kind of gas it run good, but sometimes it run badly, it can not go faster specially uphill. the mechanic told me it is not transmission problems,Some times my car take a long trip to run faster. I am tired of putting my car in emergency lights when it runs slowly and frustrated me.
Any advice about this weird car
thanks
mike

Assuming you've tried a tuneup already (esp. if it's been more than 30K mi since the last one) this sounds like a fuel injector problem (dirty, clogged injectors). I would try a trial of adding a bottle of injector cleaner with every tank of gas for the next 2-3 months and see if it gets better. If not, you should have the injectors checked by a mechanic. Either way, you should add cleaner every time you change the oil.

Yup I agree with the other adviser. You need a new mechanic. Your car probably needs to be overhauled or as the other said your injectors could be clogged. But my money is on overahauling your engine. gonna be a big expense if this is advised to you consider getting another car or replacement engine whichever cost less of course.

If you have already taken it to a mechanic, why didn't he diagnos the problem for you? Did you tell him what you've been experiencing with it?
It could be several things: Bad fuel injectors, bad vacuum hoses, simply old and need of retirement...whatever.
But if you took it to a mechanic and he didn't diagnos it properly, then you need a new mechanic.

i drive a ford taurus too and ive never noticed this problem. you might want to get your car checked out. mine is a '96 by the way. my car does however, have a problem where it will randomly jerk when i am increasing in speed. overall though the car drives well so im not really sure why your car is doing that but if it continues to be serious i would definitely get it checked out. good luck!

sounds like you may be having a cat failure?use a vacumn gauge to test.attach hose to a vacunm port in manifold.excel
engine to 2500 rpms watch gauge when you release the throttle
when gauge drops does it recover to 18-20 in.vac.if it recovers slowly you have a bad cat.
you can also use a infored temp probe exaust must be 300*
hotter at the out side of the cat.good luck
.or check your fuel filter

have it scanned for computer trouble codes. But it sounds like a tune up problem,catalytic converter may be plugging up,fuel filter may need changing ,and a compression check should be done to rule that out of the way .
