My Taurus will run when its cool, however when I drive in city traffic and have to start and stop it will knock off. It will not crank again until it sits for 30 or 45 minutes. Then it will run until it gets hot again.

It will not crank again until it sits for 30 or 45 minutes, if you mean refusing to start-get a carb cleaner ready when it happens do below this will tell if its fuel or spark problem

Get a carb cleaner and spray into the carb or the throttle body on an EFI. Did it start and die? If not disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors-
