Wagonswest15 0 Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) Ok, here's a weird question for everyone- I was looking at an 02 Taurus wagon with the 3.0 12V, runs fine now (to be my secondary vehicle). However, there's a project I'm on where I need to deliberately have it be 1. Somewhat hard to start when cold, 2. Sputter and stall a lot when warming up, but 3. Be mostly fine once it is warmed up. What can I put on that will not do any long term damage to the car (in other words, put it back to ok when I'm done with the project)?

SHO-WGN 74 Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) Buy my wagon. Sorry, just could not resist. Sounds like you are setting up a shop diagnostics problem for an Industrial Arts class. Edited November 8, 2015 by SHO-WGN Quote Link to post Share on other sites
