Two problems related to gas recirculation valve (egr valve) have been reported for the 1996 Ford Taurus. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
When ever my car hits over 250 degree's it will stall out , you then have to wait till the engine cools to start it back up , this mainly occur,s when it it very warm out side. I first had this happen when I was traveling down on interstate in the middle of July when the outside temp was about 95 degree's all of a sudden the car just died in the middle of the interstate. This problem had occured several time befor while driving in my home town just doing 30- 45 miles per hour or sitting at a red lite . I have read that Ford had the same problem with this moduler on earlier models I went to our Ford dealer and they said that they couldnt just fix it I would have to pay for it since my car was a 1996 not a 1995 I feel if Ford new that the earlier models had this problem they should be willing to fix it on mine also.
On automatic transmission we were driving and engine check light came on and wouldn't go faster than 45, cam sensor, camshaft, died rough idle, egr sensor bad, service engine soon light, dies at stops and slow downs, fuel pump doesnt hold pressure, long crank time no turn over till about a minute service engine soon light came on.
