i am 19. The power light is I believe under the tach?? It comes on and says "POWER" generally under hard acceleration and pressing down the accelerato quickly. What does it do? It light up.. Sike... I honestly couldn't tell you exactly what it does. You might not have seen it because the bulb or LED, not sure which it is, could be burned out. I dunno though.
Oh bye the way, Is a early 90's SHO a 5.0 engine?? |

Weird that I have never seen it. Mine must be burnt out or something. Oh well.
1989-1992 Taurus SHO's are 3.0 Yamaha DOHC engines (93-95 are also 3.0, and the addition of a 3.2L in the automatic cars only). Check out www.shotimes.com for a bunch of Taurus SHO info. |

I knew someone who had a plain old 92 Taurus. I drove it and was actually suprised about it. I wasnt to in to the looks but it drove pretty nicely. Suprised me. Im checking out that website now. Peace

Yeah, both engines are quite interesting. I agree that a 3.4L is quite small for an 8 cyl. Odd to me also. But I love them. I have onwed 2 of them, a 1989, and currently a `91. Here's my 91: http://www.superford.org/registry/index.php?vID=1008

ive raced an old sho and its almost a match for a stock svx.
the power light appears when the throttle is pressed very quickly to the floor. what ive read it does is use i different gear set (or something), maybe to transfer power to the wheels more efficiently? on a side note, the resistor ("ebay" chip) ive installed lets me stay in power mode until i shift to neutral. this is by no means a good thing, and my point is that power mode overall isnt that great. it just didnt transfer that well from the xt6 in my opinion.
