The Taurus has come a long way! In college I had a 1986 Taurus. Car would be running fine. Park, grocery shop or something. Come back out to start the car. Nothing. Walk 5 or 6 miles home. Return to start the car a day or 2 later (this 1 or 2 day "rest period" was enacted after being told numerous times that "nothing was wrong") -- car would start and away we would go!

Finally some tow operator showed me how to use a screwdriver to bridge one part under the hood to another and the car started every time.
