Ford taurus making jingling noises when accelerating uphill?
Since I got the used car, it has made sounds that sound like bells jingiling together anytime I go uphill on a highway, or up a hill altogether, sometimes the sound goes away slightlyu, sometimes it gets worse. At first I thought it was the gas, because my other car did the same thing, but my other car was a classic olds that still had a Carb engine in it, this is a Ford Taurus with fuel injector. I always go for oil changes and maintain the car. I will most likely go to a Ford Dealership to have it test driven uphill to see where the problem is, anyone that is a mechanic have any clues, or is this common in a 1999 Ford Taurus car? PS I have had the car for almost 3 yrs with the same issue and it doesn’t matter if it’s in the Summer, Fall, Winter, or Sping, the problem is always there.

Winter of the World: Book Two of the Century TrilogyKen Follett follows up his #1 New York Times bestseller Fall of Giants with a brilliant, page-turning epic about the heroism and honor of World War II, and the dawn of the atomic age.Ken Follett’s Fall of Giants, the first novel in his extraordinary new historical epic, The Century Trilogy, was an international sensation, acclaimed as “sweeping and fascinating, a book that will consume you for days or weeks” (USA Today) and “grippingly told and readable to the end” (The New York Times Book Review). “If the next two volumes are as lively and entertaining as Fall of Giants,” said The Washington Post, “they should be well worth waiting for.”
Winter of the World picks up right where the first book left off, as its five interrelated families—American, German, Russian, English, Welsh—enter a time of enormous social, political, and economic turmoil, beginning with the rise of the Third Reich, through the Spanish Civil War and the great dramas of World War II, up to the explosions of the American and Soviet atomic bombs.
Carla von Ulrich, born of German and English parents, finds her life engulfed by the Nazi tide until she commits a deed of great courage and heartbreak. . . . American brothers Woody and Chuck Dewar, each with a secret, take separate paths to momentous events, one in Washington, the other in the bloody jungles of the Pacific. . . . English student Lloyd Williams discovers in the crucible of the Spanish Civil War that he must fight Communism just as hard as Fascism. . . . Daisy Peshkov, a driven American social climber, cares only for popularity and the fast set, until the war transforms her life, not just once but twice, while her cousin Volodya carves out a position in Soviet intelligence that will affect not only this war—but the war to come.
These characters and many others find their lives inextricably entangled as their experiences illuminate the cataclysms that marked the century. From the drawing rooms of the rich to the blood and smoke of battle, their lives intertwine, propelling the reader into dramas of ever-increasing complexity.
As always with Ken Follett, the historical background is brilliantly researched and rendered, the action fast-moving, the characters rich in nuance and emotion. With passion and the hand of a master, he brings us into a world we thought we knew, but now will never seem the same again.

low octane gas…try a tank of high octane. is it tuned,,, timing is to far advanced or engine has carbon build up raising compression to high,, it will kill the engine in time.
Ted on August 24, 2011 at 2:59 pm
It’s a Ford, what else can I say.
wheeliemad on August 24, 2011 at 2:59 pm
It’s called pinking,usually caused by a timing fault or gas with too low a octane level.
Jacare on August 24, 2011 at 2:59 pm
Well….that could be a number of things….jingling….hmmmm…that may be the linkage to your drive shaft….have you checked your univeral joints lately….wait…on second thought, I would check the flux capacitor.
Amish Rebel on August 24, 2011 at 2:59 pm
Save your money! Don’t go to a dealer.
Have you checked your trunk? It sounds like you may have a band of gypsies living in there.
Lab on August 24, 2011 at 2:59 pm
This is called detonation, also known as pinging. In most cars, this is caused by advanced timing or incorrect fuel octane. In your case, timing cannot be changed so going to a higher octane fuel will help. If you can find some, get some combustion chamber cleaner and add it to your gas. Sometimes, carbon deposits can cause pre-ignition/detonation.
studmuffin on August 24, 2011 at 2:59 pm
try using higher octane fuel,or just get some octane booster,and see if that helps.what you hear is the lifters,probably from low octane.
lookingthrutheprism on August 24, 2011 at 2:59 pm
FORDS just suck, but I would test the wheel bearings and universal joints just in case. JUST in case its not pinging.
raise the wheels and turn them by hand if you feel it "jingle" the bearings need replacement
madmoparmachine_25_m on August 24, 2011 at 2:59 pm
most likely cause would be "detonation" or a condition that exists when the fuel air mixture ignites or combusts prematurely. Being as though the ignition timing is controlled by the computer in that vehicle it would lead me to suspect that is is not firing at the proper time or that maybe some cylinder head work has been done namely the heads may have been machined too far causing a combustion issue. Try running some octane boost (good stuff like the 104) and see what happens. If the noise lessens or disappears it could be a simple solution. If this is accompanied by the lack of power check for a plugged catalytic converter this could also be an issue. All in all you will most likely have to take it in and see what the ignition timing is doing to find out exactly what the cause is.

check to see if the kick-down cable for the automatic transmission is still connected. even if it is it is still possible that it needs adjusted. the transmission maybe staying in too high of gear
