Thanks again everyone. We changed the fuel filter and it seems like it's got better power, the one that was replaced was probably the original. I've been worried about a transmission problem as well. I'm a fanatic about checking my fluid and making sure it's the right color and it doesn't have a burnt smell. So far it's been good but I freak out about things like that anyway.
I'm pretty sure the thermostat is stuck open but I had another question: Are the coils just called coils or are they the coil pack or what? Where would these be? If I can learn where they are I can test them, but I have no idea where to even look. My husband's not much on working on cars so I always deal with everything and make sure the cars get their repair and maintenance. So if someone could tell me where they're at it would be much appreciated. I don't know alot about cars, but with this taurus it looks like I'm going to get some experience.
Thanks again!
