Check engine light is on?

2001 Ford Taurus 6 cyl

Quick history- Long warm up time and check engine light would come on from time to time. Changed plugs and it went off. Car overheated yet the temp gage never indicated hot. The reservoir started to leak so I replaced it. I added stop leak and it clogged heater core. The head gasket blew and I replaced it at the same time I also added failsafe thermostat, and water pump. Drove great for 500 miles then check engine light came back on code P0153. I cleaned MAF and numerous drive cycles later it went off. Lower idle since I replaced both head gaskets (surfaced also) was around 800 now 650 slight variations but runs fairly smooth. Engine light on and off was a problem prior the major repair. Any ideas what this intermittent light on and off could be?

Prior the head gaskets cylyinder 5 code (number not known) faulty plug, injector, wire, coil pack.
This factor I just realized. Light would go on towards 1/4 tank and off after fill up around 3/4 tank however not every fill up.
After head gasket replaced light came on around 500 miles and O2 sensor error.
Cleaned MAF. Several fill ups later it went off around 3/4 tank it has not went back on yet. Lower idle since head gasket r&r. Can IAC be cleaned?

I will clean the connector. Would the IAC explain why it takes a long time for it to kick down from high idle to low idle when it is warming up if not what controls that? Where can I get manifold vacuume to see what is going on?

Shakes or Wobbles problem

When I drive my car it shakes and makes a weird noise. Also my check engine light blinks on and off. Thanks for your help!

The car just got a full tune up about a month ago. Could the engine be going bad? Or could it be bad engine mounts?

My check engine light comes on and it says misfire on cylinder 6, I have replaced the spark plugs, spark plug wires, fuel injector for cylinder 6, and coil pack, and still get this message. Do you know the compression of the cylinders so I can do a compression check of cylinder 6, and do you know of anything else that could cause this message? Thanks

I have a 2001 Ford Taurus. I have 27, 000 miles (on new engine. Ford had to replace under warranty because dealer ruined engine by not tightening 1 bolt). I have two problems. The first is that when I am sitting idle at a light the car will hesistate. It happens frequently. I have had a full tune up. The check engine light came on. The code was misfire. (Dealer tried to charge me $1500 to fix). I had the tune up and the light went off for a while. The check engine light comes sometimes but will go off a few days later. I have taken it to a mechanic who seems to think that it is a clogged fuel injector. He recommended fuel injector cleaner and high octane gas. The hesistation has improved however it has not gone away. The second problem is when I go to accelerate like entering the highway the car will hesitate and I have to give it more gas. It will then pick up speed. Any ideas?

ok, earlier today I drove during rainy weather and as I was down the road from my first destination my car started to sputter really badly (usually its only a little sputter during rainy weather) But its a really strong, hard sputter and then my engine light went on then started to flash! I got really worried so I called my dad. He claims that always happens especually with my car since it doesnt like 'water', but when it would rain the light wouldnt come on at all and flash? My dad said to not worry about it becauseits typical, but I think he is wrong, my owners manual says that if my engine light is on and flashing then its a major problem - like the engine backfiring- what should I do? Should I be worried? When I got home I opened the hood and didnt see or smell anything. I was also thinking about driving to autozone to have it read-codes- my car wouldnt go over 30mph even on a highway or a busy street.I had to drive with my emergency lights flashing to warn others that my car might die on me.

I dotn want to drive my car until it drys off and stops raining- I dotn want to overheat my catalyc converter causing meltdown. Im pretty sure that a 'misfiring' code will result at AZ. Also I forgot to state this earlier that when I had my car parked and I started it, the engine light didnt come on, until I drove down the street in the rain then it came on and then started to flash again.

Is there something I can use to keep my car from becoming sensitive to water? Thx
