Failed emissions test trouble code P0462?
I have a 2004 Ford Taurus that couldn't pass the emissions test due to this code P0462. Is this a faulty fuel level sensor? I had a problem about 1yr ago with the gas gauge showing the empty when it wasn't. But that seems to be ok now. Or could it be a fuel pump? I'm not sure what to do.
The Ford Taurus is an AWESOME ride, dude!
The code is for low input from the fuel level sensor. It's either a bad sending unit or wiring problem. I'd erase the code and drive until the readiness tests are completed and go through emission testing again if the CEL doesn't come back on. The readiness tests usually set with in 100 miles of driving.

See a mechanic to check if the wires feeding the sensor is good and checking if the sensor is providing an output. Most fuel quantitiy sensors are integrated with the pump assembly so you have to put a new fuel pump if the sensor is the cultprit. Put an OEM pump if the sensor/pump is bad.
- How do you determine if your car is under California or Federal emissions if your emissions sticker is gone? I have a 1993 ford taurus 3.8L V6 GL 4dr. Sedan. I need to know if my car is under California or federal emissions. I know you are suppose to have a sticker on your car that tells you but mine was destroyed over time so I really don't know. Is their another way to get this information? How would I find out?
- My transmission has failed due to a recalled part does Ford have to replace the whole transmission or just the recalled part? I have a 2005 Ford Freestar minivan one night when I was driving home the transmission went out on it while I was on the highway. After doing some research we found that the torque converter is a recalled part on this model. If the torque converter is the reason for the transmission failure does Ford have to replace my whole transmission as well or just the torque converter?
- I just failed the Ohio echeck cause of the NO emissions levels were too high? I know high levels of NO is caused by overheating in the chambers.

I HAVE1995 FORD PROBE. AND THE ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ON So I don't know WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE
