Hi, I had my blown head gasket repaired and battery replaced at the same time. The car ran fine for 1 trip afterward, but the same problems came back after the next trip. I recently replaced the battery (bad battery) and again, the car ran perfectly fine with no problems…for one trip. Any suggestions to what to have looked at next for this?

It depends on exactly what the problems are. How much have you spent, on how old a Taurus with how many miles?

Head gasket problems and battery problems aren’t usually related . Could you explain the problems please ?
