SOURCE: 2000 ford taurus- wont shift into gear

first check drive axels , since you replaced front springs on struts i assume. it is possible that one of the axels popped out. next if thats ok check fluid level in trans with eng OFF should show over full make a srcribe mark on the stick. then START the eng it should go down to full or just below depends if trans is full or a little low . if level does not drop approx.1/2 in or so then have a transmission shop check for bad splines in torque convertor, that is a comon problem in that car, year and milage do not play a roll a large roll in parts failure in trans any more. not like it use-to.

Either you may be using a key that you had copied from the original or your chip went bad in your original key. Most of cars now a days have the key censor in the key so if it is the incorrect key it will not start your car or if it does not read that chip it will not start

It does it more uphill because the engine needs more fuel. Its starving. How about replacing the fuel filter.

My 2000 Ford Expedition "hiccups" while driving in turns, or from a complete stop to acceleration into a turn? Sometimes it occurs while drive up a slight incline.

Sounds like a fuel problem, not enough gas getting into cylinders to burn. Have the fuel pressure checked with a fuel pressure gauge. Correct pressure in the fuel rail is critical for the injectors to spray enough gas. If pressure is low, possibly a weak fuel pump or partially clogged filter. When fuel pressure is tested, the fuel pressure regulator can be checked as well.

2008 ford taurus stopped accelerating while driving down the road

There are a number of causes for this to happen, jumped timing chain/belt, shorted coil(s), plugged fuel filter, faulty fuel pump or a number of sensors. A plugged catalitic converter could also be the cause. If you can describe more details of the event I can help you locate the cause

2000 Ford Taurus. Would fill up with gas when close to empty or light come on. Then a couple weeks ago,gas gauge was on 1/4 tank then went a little lower and engine started bucking. Then light came on. ...

change the fuel filter for one, this is telling you that your pick up in the tank is getting clogged, I would drop my tank, and drain it, flush it, and check the pump at that time

Torque converter is locking up, common for this model. My wife's is doing the same, just changed filter, fluid, and added Lucas trans fix. Hope this works for a little bit, 2000-2500 to fix this if not.
