hrmmm.... interesting theory. i couldnt tell you quite honestly. ford thought this car was too good for a tach. but it doesnt slip from what i can tell, runs wide open like, well, any essex <thats what they call the 3.8> would. the only thing in the tranny system that i notice is that it hangs in first gear when the tranny is cold for too long <it gets to about 37mph, comes out of first, hangs there between gears for a good 3 seconds, seriously, 3 seconds, before it dumps into second, but the rpms stay the same, just no power> but i am told it is typical of the taurus tranny <the SHO does it too, just not as bad>. fluid looks like trash, but the level is fine.

another thing i remember too, the A/C makes this problem 10 times worse.

yah that a common problem with Fords...they suck!!!!!!! LOL

sorry i had to do that

yes yes, ford suck, gm rules, we all know

Looks like someone has been down this road before?

yes yes, been there, going through it right now...

come on now, eather give him some advice or butt out.

well, i had a look at it today. as it turns out, this is the AC cycling, but i never noticed this before though. maybe something is wrong with it, as the AC is beginning to not cut it as well anymore. man, i wish this car would hurry up and die
