I usually spray a little wd40 in the cylinders after sitting that long too.

Start with the codes and i believe you have a chain, not a belt.

Rent a pressure tester from autozone or oreilly and see if it loses pressure.

Take it to a shop or pull the cams out…i would stop wasting time and do it the right way.

Tape makes sure you dont drill too far down…the tape acts as a guide…when you drill to the tape, you stop….construction workers use this method too…there are also special bits that do this as well.

Your compression looks good…u probably didnt have a good seal on cyl 2 the first time

I would check for vacuum leaks again…your symptoms have vacuum leak written all over them. You want to diagnose the problem before you continue to throw parts at it. So what are all the codes that the car is currently throwing? Also, does the scantool you are using display PIDS?

[Mike]

Keep us posted!

Anything that low is a problem…are valves adjustable on that engine?

[Mike]

You have an airflow problem….double check fan

Did you check your coolant system? Is coolant level full? Sounds like a flow issue. Coolant system needs to operate properly in order for a/c to work correctly.

[Mike]

They should be on all the time with your a/c on

Why dont you call the dealer and give them the vin? They can probably pull it up

The keyless entry system on a 1999 Taurus is controlled by the RAP (remote anti-theft personality) module. This module is located under the instrument panel to the left of the brake pedal. There are connectors that connect to it. On the module will be a label with the part number SIMILAR to XF1T-15K602-A1A. Beside the part number will be FIVE numbers. Those five numbers are the five digit keypad code. Note: On ALL Ford products equipped with the keyless entry keypad, pressing the 7/8 and 9/0 keys simultaneously will lock ALL doors.
