I was driving my 94 ford Taurus when I stopped at a stop sign. Then when I tried to accelerate it wouldn't move At All! Any ideal what's wrong?

The weak link on any FWD car is the ATX--you likely lost your's (transmission oil pump failure?). Best to change fluid and filter every 30,000 miles.

Unfortunately, yes, if I'm correct. As the owner of a 2000 Taurus, this is why I change the transmission fluid and filter every 30,000 miles and only use Amsoil or Mobil 1 synthetic ATF. You should have a local mechanic assess the situation for you.

If the ATF is brown or has a burnt smell to it, you can safely conclude the ATX is gone.
