Hello my 1999 Ford Taurus has recently been stalling out while I'm driving. It happens usually after a 30-40 minute drive. There is no warning the car running great after a full tune up and all new vacuum lines replaced. No Service Engine Soon light comes on. The car tends to stall either when I've braked to slow down for a light or I've stopped in general or if it has not stalled out and I shut off the engine at a gas station, she will not restart for about a ½ hour. After the stall if I try to start it, it sounds like it’s trying to catch but it can’t. My mechanic is unable to figure it out and we both don’t want to just start swapping out parts needlessly. My car has a V6 3.0 DOHC and is a front wheel drive with 68,000 easy miles. I have changed the Camshaft Positioning Sensor and replaced the Coil Pack, Wires and Spark Plugs with the recent tune up.

check fuel pressure with a gauge it may be low should be 37-43 psi with key on engine off and hold to 25psi after 1 minute
