P0303 Diagnostic and Fix for 2007 Ford Taurus - Check Engine Light & Poor Acceleration

Model: 2007 Ford Taurus Fault Code: P0303 Posted: 2020-08-25 21:42

Hello everyone, I hope you're all safe. I own a 2007 Ford Taurus and recently the check engine light has come on. After visiting AutoZone, the diagnostic tool returned code P0303. The car exhibits noticeable sluggishness at lower speeds and experiences hesitation during acceleration. However, when driving at a steady higher speed, the performance improves slightly. I'm not a mechanic, but I'd like to attempt fixing this issue myself. My first step is replacing the ignition coil, as it's a common cause of P0303 in this model. Any additional suggestions or troubleshooting tips for this specific fault would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help!
