How do I tune up a 2001 taurus ses?

There have been no tune-ups in 25 years

Technically since 1980 some 32 years

Only spark plugs left from those days

The ECM,PCM in your case,or the computer
if that suits you,it does the tuning

That is a term the repair shops should stop using,
a long time ago,they have enough issues, without
misleding people.

You should have a maintenance log, for all your vehicles
You should have at least, an owner manual

Clean MAF Sensor ---every year
Brake Fluid---every 2 years
Air Filter,Cabin Filter---every 3 years
Spark Plugs,Trans Fluid, Power Steering Fluid ---every 3 years
Gas Filter--Every 3 years

Brakes--- need to come apart for inspection,rust removal & lube-every year
The System should be Scanned a couple times a year for stored data,
codes & other issues
If you look into the computer & monitor how it see things,you may avoid
problems & break down repairs

Just a few items,always something to do,have to be proactive

My accord sometimes doesn't start. mostly does it when its hot outside. what causes this

How old is the battery? The extreme heat of summer and the extreme cold in winter take a toll on batteries often causing intermittant starting problems if the battery is four years old or more, or if it is a cheapo battery that is a few years old that is probably the problem.

I aquired an 83 750 midnight virago that sat for 5 years and has only 8000 miles on it. I removed carbs and had them cleaned at a very reputable shop. I reinstalled them and the bike would start and run...

If it stops when put in gear it could be the side stand switch, If this switch is dodgy it could cause intermittant problems.
but this doesnt fully explain the no acceleration problem

3 beep-tones

I am having this same problem, and it seems quite intermittant. I have finally narrowed it down to an electrical issue, somewhere on the control circuit board (which I have sitting in front of me right now.) I'm going to see if I can buy a new one, and for how much, before calling out the repairman.

Samsung dryer smells like gas

Replace the operator coils. They are intermittant. Typical operator coils look like this:

Microwave turns off after 1-2 seconds

It turned out to be the three door attachments that weren't lined up. It has been fixed. We almost bought a new one because Samsung referred us to a service that would have charged way too much to be worth it even thought the machine is only 3 or so years old. Luckily, we looked further. A local independent appliance fixer came to the house and took care of it within a few hours of my call! Yea!
