Title: 1999 Ford Taurus PLEASE HELP!!!
Post by: KORNBREAD on September 16, 2011, 12:42:10 PM
ok so the wife drives a 1999 Ford Taurus. It has the 3.0 DHC v-6. Motor runs sweet all day long except for when we go to start it in the morning. When we turn the key the motor instantly jumps to 2500-3000 rpms and with in about 35 seconds or so slowly revs back down to idle speed. I really was thinking IAC valve so I changed it. Fixed problem for all of 2 days now right back to same thing. Car is sowing no check engine light. Also Im smelling a very rich smell when it first starts. Smells just like when you do a fuel system clean.  I cant find ANY vacum leaks, oils not gasy smelling. You think maybe intake gasket leak somewhere?????  im stumped.
