What does the code p1744 mean on a 97 ford taurus sho

SOURCE: 1995 Ford Taurus Sho 3.2 check engine light blink

• 1995 sho will not start at times, and died when going down the road. Car would not start when it died, Tried to start it next day and it fired right up. What do you thank fuel filter fuel pump or somthing else.

SOURCE: I need a list of the EGR/Trouble codes for a 1994 Ford SHO Taurus

Sounds like the catalytic converter has gone bad. What happens is you car as you drive will lose power, smell like rotten eggs and stall out. The reason is, the cat. is plugged up and cannot let the exhaust out of the tail pipe like it should. The exhaust is staying in the engine causing it to stall out and loose pwer.

SOURCE: I want to turn off

Hi there. As far as the valet/overide button, it's a hidden
device-switch, a little spring loaded micro button,
red or black possibly and is probably down under
the dash area, near your knee/leg. In some
remote start/alarm combos, the antenna on the window
glass will also have an override/valet button.
Older sytems will have a flip type toggle switch.

When you locate the button or switch,
turn on the ignition key, press and hold
in the button until the alarm chirps 1 time
(for toggle types, key on, flip switch in the
opposite direction, then key off). This should over ride the system. You would get a single chirp to confirm from the siren.
The LED (light emiting diode) light in the dash
should also go on solid. This is valet/overide/reset.
This should correct any issues like starter disable,
or anti-hijack. Your keyless entry, if installed,
will still be operable. The have it inspected for the
falsing issues you are experience at a local shop.
You would repeat the same steps to toggle back into user mode.
