1991 Ford Taurus suspension problems

Filed Jan 15, 2004 · Brakes, Electrical · ME

I can't possibly remember the dates these things happened. I put a new (used) transmission and this one is slipping. I put more brake pads and calipers than you would use in a life time. The springs are weak in the back, but to exspensive to change. I put a new fuel pump and gas tank. I've put a new egr valve, oxygen sensor, throttle sensor, air temp sensor. I put a blinker switch and new struts because mine broke. 3 out of 4 of my doors will not open because of the handles. These are just a few of the things I wrote down or can remember. Now it will not start unless I pump the gas(it's fuel injected) and keep turning it over and over. Then I'm not sure if it will start again when I shut it off. The fuel pump is working I think, I can hear it. I bought the car used and the person put a 1989 motor into a 1991 body. These things still went wrong with the car either way. I did not check any below because I'm not sure what to check.

Rear shock tower housing assembly is rusted on seam, where the top plate is mounted to the housing. Owner noticed this when looking in the trunk of vehicle. Problem was reported to ford motor co. Because the rust had not damaged the spot welds, the housing assembly was still structurally sound. Dealer told owner to sand out the rust and spray with rust treatment. *ak
