Did you do a search on this using the Taurus search on the main Taurus page using "bypass""hose""24v dohc". I don't know why it should be so expensive to replace. Depening on your skill level, tools, and confidence, I think you could do it. Having some sort of repair reference would be helpful. You can try looking at Autozone. com auto repair section on intake manifold for your car. There may be another section that might help. Some of these engines have the bypass hose you describe under the upper intake manifold. If so, that may require a longer repair and higher cost. But I'd rather let someone with more experience with your setup chime in.
