Where is the Mercury Sable - Ford Taurus VIN engine code which one which?

The VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) doesn't directly state the engine code. The engine code is a separate identifier, usually found on an engine data plate located on the engine itself (often on the side or top). This plate will have several codes, one of which will specify the engine.

To find the engine code for your Mercury Sable or Ford Taurus:

1. Locate the Engine: Open the hood of your vehicle.

2. Find the Engine Data Plate: Look carefully around the engine block. It's usually a metal plate with various codes and numbers stamped or printed on it.

3. Identify the Engine Code: The engine code will be a combination of letters and numbers (e.g., 3.0L Vulcan, 3.8L Essex, etc.). The exact format will depend on the year and model of your vehicle.

4. Use Online Resources: Once you have the engine code, you can use online resources like Ford's website or a vehicle parts website (like AutoZone or RockAuto) to look up specific details about your engine. You may need to enter your VIN and/or engine code to get the most accurate information.

The VIN itself is located in several places:

* Driver's side dashboard: Usually visible through the windshield.

* Driver's side door jamb: Often stamped on the doorjamb sticker.

* Vehicle title or registration: The VIN will be listed on these documents.

Remember, the VIN provides general vehicle information, but the engine's specific details are found on the engine data plate.
