Asked by Guru9ZT66F Nov 30, 2020 at 10:58 PM about the 2001 Ford Taurus SE

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

So back story is I drove a very far distance,
it was fine. On the way back I stop and get
some gas at a little less then half way but
im already at a half tank, i put about
another 1/4 tank in. I get to a little over
half way back my car starts to act like its
running out of gas. (I had this problem
before when i first got the car but usually
restarting my car would make it go away;
changed the dpfe it quit doing it) well i
throw it in neutral let it coast for a second
then start it back up it would be fine for a
second then pretty much go into limp
mode. I barely made it home. Well as soon
as I got home I changed the fuel pump
cause i thot thats what it was cause I
could tell it was going out anyways. I go to
drive it get to about 35 i go to press the
gas some more off of a coast and there is
no response and my rpms drop it will
jutter and some times stall. But it wont let
me go much further after that either. I
have changed the fuel pump like I said
already, checked fuel pressure, checked
wire connections, tested some circuits,
changed the dpfe again, tps sensor, egr
solenoid, egr valve, checked for vacuum
leaks, changed spark plugs, checked air
filter, cleaned fuel injectors. And I cant
figure out what to do next someone help
me please

Have you tried cleaning idle air control valve? Last time fuel filter was changed? Make sure the vacuum lines are all connected? I'd also have the timing checked. From there I would start looking at possible transmission issues
