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

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.
over heating is the only thing I can think of…or maybe you are getting condensation in your gas tank.
well you know the real problem it is spelt FORD
good question, but no. You won't have vapor lock with 35 psi ,,, speaking of which. You can check the flow & pressure on the fuel rail. Good Luck =^ )
trade the ford for a chevy.
could be the thermostat or the cooling fan or even the engine could be bad theres alot of reasons a car overheats check from small first and rule everything out pay someone to figure it out if car is to expensive to fix junk it
