Any quick suggestions on getting a 3.0L taurus (sable) going after

economy they have gotten with these trucks...I'm only getting slightly
better than 15 mpg.  Runs fine, check engine light goes on at startup
then goes off and stays off.  Are these things gas pigs?  Thanks in

Here's the problem - headlights stay on after I turn off ignition, remove
the key and vacate the car completely. The only way to turn them off is to
pull the 40A headlamps fuse from the fuse box under the hood (close to the

gear was broken so he replaced the gear and chain.  He put it back
together and said the distributor still won't turn.  Any idea what

For some reason, All of the power door locks seem to lack enough power to
actuate them all of the time. It would seem odd to me that all 4 actuators
