2000 Ford Taurus WONT START & gives bad MPG

You should be able to do the sensors yourself. FI cleaning is probably unnecessary and not worth 150 in any case.

Change the sensors first, then see where you stand. If the car is running well aside from poor mileage, the injector cleaning isn't worth it.

i dunno about a taurus but some need a special socket to get it off or else you remove the entire exhaust manifold.

I'd be curious to know if the MAF sensor is bad or not. A MAF that's a bit off can cause the O2 sensors to throw a code.

Looks like something got spilled on the intake sometime in the past.
