1995 Ford Taurus problems?

My 1995 ford taurus stalls out in 105 degree weather every summer?

• I neglected to put the year of the taurus ( 1995 ) in my first question. Sorry for the confusion. I don't beleive the engine overheats. Has anyone heard of the fuel pump problems on this year of taurus. Could it be causing something like a vapor lock, at the high temperatures that I have mentioned. Thanks, Harry

• Answer:

  I doubt it's anything to do with the fuel pump. What does it take to get it started after it stalls? Do you have to wait a few minutes and then it will crank over just fine? Or does it fight you every step of the way until it turns over? Over heating seems most likely to me. How are you sure it isn't over heating? I've seen a lot of busted temp gauges on these cars over the years (as well as the fuel gauges), so I wouldn't rely on those. Do you see any smoke pouring out from the manifold area when it does turn over? When is the last time you did a tune up? Make sure your rad-fan is engaging when the engine warms up, and if you haven't already, check your coolant level. Has the car been running rough otherwise? Are you running the A/C when this happens? If you can give out a little more info, mainly retaining to what I've asked, we could help you a lot more.
