this isnt exactly about a ford taurus but since the mercury sable parts can be interchangeable... im having problems with my 94 sable. it will start fine then after a while it wont start at all. then about a day after not starting it will start fine again. ive been to alot of forums with the same problem but ive done what they suggested and still it doesnt work. now it wont start at all. ive changed the fuel pump, fuel relay, emergency shutoff swith, ignition control module, fuel filter, coil, computer and a couple of other things. when it doesnt start the fuel pump isnt going on. but when i go to start it later it does go on. so something isnt allowing the fuel pump to go on. please help.

Had the same issue with the 94 Sable w/LTS package that I owned from 1994-2004. I traced out the wiring for the fuel pump relays and found a GREEN/CORRODED wire in the harness that goes right behind the left headlight assembly. There was a factory splice in the wire that feeds the fuel pump relay that had corroded and was causing a periodic loss of contact. I cut the bad section out and spliced in a new pice of wire. I believe that the fuel pump relay is located in the IRCM/CCRM along with the EEC power relay, fan relays, and solid state A/C relay. It is a black box, roughly the size of a paperback book, located under the top of the fan shroud near the batt. It has about a 30 pin connector with a bunch of heavy gauge wires.This may not be your problem. but it''''s something to look for. I would also make sure that the battery terminals and connectors are clean and tight.
