I have a 97 taurus gl and the check engine light came on about
a week ago and now sometimes when i hit the gas it hessitates
is this a mass air flow problem any suggestions would help

Sounds like it could be an EGR problem. Or, it may be that you are running too rich and have bad O2 sensors. Take some where to have your codes read.

autozone should be able to hook you up and tell you what your codes are reading. Or you can go to the dealer, but I think they cost money.

Your welcome.

Autozone read my codes, because my SES light has been on for about 2 or 3 years, and mom never had anything done with it, so.. Turns out its a bad sensor. Now to replace it. <_<

Had the same problem last week. Bought the new sensor hoping that was all it was. Took the sensor off and the vane on top was bent. Took it to the garage the next day. $140 for the synchronizer and $75 to install. Tried reading up on replacing the synchronizer but did not feel secure as chilton and haynes both explaned it different.
