All the days lights came on a my Taurus died
while idleling. After of about 5min I was able
to start the car and press on. What could

on schedule.

Would scan for pending codes. Could be one of many things such as an issue with the charging system, throttle position sensor, vacuum leak, etc. Some of the Fords have had issues with a shutdown type of problems concerning the transmission speed sensors but the ones I've heard of the vehicle were in motion. Have the battery load tested and alternator voltage checked so at least you can rule that out. Good Luck!
