1998 Ford Taurus review from North America
"You never know what your buying with a car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have a 98 ford taurus and a while back it began to stall and the car would shake when parked at a light or stop sign. so I was told to change the spark plugs and the fuel filter. I did that, but it didn't fix a thing. now the stalling is so bad that in order to get the car to even go I have to press on the gas and get it to about 4 on the RPM"S and then it will finally go. now also the overdrive light keeps flashing on and the car has trouble making it up a hill. I don't know what to do can you lead me in the right direction or give me an idea of what it would be and costwise to fix it. everyone keeps telling me I need a new transmission. Will you help me please???
