1991 Ford taurus 3.0L V6, 98485 miles.
The car had been running fine for a long time, when recently (while driving on the interstate the first time) it would start to lose engine power and all the instrument lights would come on and then it would die. Trying to start it up again did nothing. Had to leave it at an Arby's parking lot overnight. The next day, went over and it started right up. Tried driving it around the neighborhood after that and it died a few times, but I was able to start it back up again afterwards. The last time we drove it was on the interstate and it did the same thing as the first time. Trying to crank it did nothing. It wouldn't even try to turn over. Got it towed to the house after that. Tried starting it the next day and it started right up. Any ideas?
