Consumer Description

2004 FORD TAURUS FFV. 1) THE CAR TAKES TWO OR MORE ATTEMPTS TO START THE ENGINE AFTER SITTING FOR 6+ HOURS ("COLD" ENGINE). VEHICLE IS RUNNING E85 ONLY. 2) AFTER IT STARTS, THE ENGINE CANNOT FIND AN IDLE AND CAN STALL OR REV UP UNEXPECTEDLY. 3) SO FAR TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS HAVE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP WITH NO CHNAGE IN STATUS. ADDITIONALLY, ONE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN PLAYING AROUND WITH THE COMPUTER PROGRAMMING. THIS HAS NOT SOVLED THE PROBLEM. FORD'S ONLY SOLUTION TO DATE IS TO NOT USE E85 EVEN THOUGH THIS VEHICLE IS A FFV. *JB
