My 1998 ford taurus gets hot when i drive and turns off and wont start until it cools down. What is making it do that every time it gets hot?
Also, consider seriously about replacing the water pump. I have a friend with this exact car, and they had the same problem - the water pump was literally "gone" - when it was pulled and shown to me, I was amazed at the condition - this was the factory water pump and if you can picture what fan blades look like, imagine the fan without the complete blades - they were completely corroded and the pump was seized up - make sure you drive as little as possibe, as this friend had driven on it with the pump in that condition for months, which in turn caused a blown head gasket as well as several other mechanical problems.
Yep lack of maintenace causes that

Sounds like the choke is getting stuck. It's an electric choke. So, clean it and its linkages. Also, check the vacuum for leaks. With 123K, I'd start with a cleaning.

If you think there is a lot of rust or stuff that looks like rust in the radiator fluid then it is most likely not a thermostat problem. If the car has a lot of miles check if the water pump drive line to the fan feels loose. If so there may be a bad bearing. If it is an electric fan, well a belt still drives the water pump, so you may loosen the belt and test the same way. Make sure the radiator cap holds pressure well or the system will overheat. Also make sure there are no colapsed hoses.

check the fuses in the car under the dash on driver side ,only other thing it could be is the power wire in the driver door jam could have a broken ground that is one way it would affect all the windows.

The Taurus has Two temp sensors. One for the dash, which is isolated, then one for the PCM, it also controls when the fan relay should actuate. Its a 2 wire sensor, just above the thermostat. If you remove the harness from that sensor, and the cooling fan comes on, at any temp, (should take 5- 10 seconds) then thats your fault.

The A/C system maybe low on freon. I would have the A/C system checked.
