I have a 2006 ford taurus that skips bad the fuel pump has been replaced 2 times n the compter

These are the symptoms of a bad coil or spark plug. Have them checked.

How long have you had this car? Could it be a flood car from Hurricane sandy?

Check for spark and fuel pressure might be week fuel pump

If the pump is running but not pumping gas, it's a bad pump or a clogged filter sock in the tank

Hmmmmmmm.......I doubt your timing chain skipped.
Possible bad coil pack.Wasn't running hot or nearly out of oil?
If it's not a vacuum hose(large one)or fuel pump quitting, I'd say it's an internal engine problem.
Can you get someone to plug a code reader into it? don-ohio

this sounds like it could be 2 different problems. either your fuel pump is bad or the fuel filter is plugged. could also be the filter or (sock) located in the fuel tank connected to your fuel pump. while your driving the pump picks up the trash in the tank until it plugs it . when it stops the trash will settle to the bottom of the tank until the next time.
It could also be a bad coil or module. usually when a module goes bad it doesn't restart. But with the coil, after it gets hot it may quit working until cool.
My bet is on the fuel system.

Located on the fuel rail ( silver or chrome lines holding fuel injectors) you will find a cap at one end that looks like a valve stem cover. When you remove the cover you will find a connector which resembles a tire valve stem. You will connect the fuel pressure tester to this port, and you will need a second person to help. Once connected you will want the helper to turn the key to the on position while watching the gauge. You should see a small pressure rise when the key is cycled from off to on several times. Then with the tester still attached have you helper start the car. You should see a increased pressure around 40PSI. You should check with ford for the proper fuel rail pressure. The gauge should only move about 5 pounds or so while idling.
If you do not have fuel pressure I would first suggest checking the fuel pump relay and it contacts to make sure the relay is working properly. If the relay is working and you still have little pressure the I would change the fuel filter. After that if you still have low pressure I would suggest replacing the pump.

Iam only going to guess at this one.
So have it checked out,don't take my word

If your converter is 17 years old,it may be blocked (worn out),thus lack of power.

Black Tailpipe-rich condition or prior ignition issues,before new parts went on.

Really old O2 Sensors.

check the vacuum hoses and make sure none of them are off and check the timing and also the drive belt

Are you useing the recommened grade of fuel, the Taurus will have cold start issues if prem. fuel is used when 89 octane is recommened, saw this many times while working for ford.
