Taurus hiccups when stopped at lights - Taurus Ford Cars & Trucks

They are caused by sudden contractions of the diaphragm triggered by irritation or stimulation of that muscle. Some leading pediatricians are of the opinion that infant hiccups are usually caused by feeding (formula or other foods) or by a drop in temperature that causes the baby to get cold. Hiccups are considered harmless unless they prove persistent enough to interfere with regular feeding and sleeping. Babies with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) may tend to hiccup more frequently, accompanied by spitting up, coughing and irritability. Such behavior should be mentioned to your medical advisor as should very frequent bouts of uncontrollable hiccups, particularly after age 1. Although baby hiccups are seldom the sign of a more serious underlying medical condition, it never does any harm to be cautious.

TRY THIS IT MIGHT WORK.
Try the paper towel trick. Place a single layer of paper towel over the top of a glass, then drink through the towel. You'll have to "pull" harder with your diaphragm to suck up the water, and concentrated gulping counteracts spasmodic muscle movements of hiccups.

Sounds like you have a cylinder misfire. Is check engine light on ?, Have you had the vehicle somewhere to get a code scan? My assumption is that you have an ignition problem that is causing the rough idle and jerk feeling while driving.
Take the vehicle to a shop and have them diagnose the driveability problem that you are having.

Connect a code reader to find out what codes the computer has in memory.

Hi ,
You need to check the transmission oil level as it is probably low and top it up as required there is a specific way of getting an accurate reading so read the manual first or get it checked by a mechanic .

Crank sensor

fuel filter i would think.

Sounds like a failing MAP/MAF Sensor....manifold absolute pressure sensor or mass air flow sensor. Do you happen to have a check engine light on?

mine was doing something similar I had the injectors flushed at an oil change place. it was about $50 bucks but it help with the hard staring and hiccup at stops. it also gave me about 1-2 miles per gallon better milage. After that I also changed the plugs and Air filter.
