sounds more like a valve problem. Weak valve spring or worn valve guide. Something mechanical that changes when the engine heats up.
Car stalls when turning sharp left
my first thought here is a UJ or constant velocity joint faulty or the splined shaft on the end has the clip missing allowing it to come out ,i can only suggest you ask a local mechanic to have a look for you .sorry i cannot give a more specific answer ,i would need to see the vehicle for this

If you're finding
it difficult to service/repair your car, get one of those online manuals. You'll not have to wait for others to answer, or rely on mechanics and all. Plus i know a website that has very good manuals online, without expiry i.e. for lifetime.

When i start my 2001 ford taurus it idles high for a short time then goes to normal
That is because the transmission is timed with the throttle position sensor and the idle air control valve on automatic transmissions. If the position sensor starts to fail you will have usually high, low, or erratic throttle and it will act as if the transmission is slipping. Have a mechanic clean your throttle body, replace the gasket, change the IAC motor, and throttle position sensor. Its what they should do to your car anyway for a full tune up but its rare anyone does it anymore. So i always do my own and you definitely feel the difference
All the lights came on and the car just died
I assume that when you say all the lights came on ... refers to all the dashboard lights and NOT your headlight/tail lights? I found the following reference for a 2013 Ford Focus:
On my way home on the freeway, my oil & battery light started flickering on and off at the same time and as it did the car was stalling out. I put my 4-way flashers on, slowed down and moved to the right lane as a safety measure. After another few miles both lights came on and stayed on and the car shut down. I pulled over to the berm, waited a few minutes, tried starting, it started and drove home with no issues. I drove to work the next day with no issues. On the way home things started happening again, the car shut down, but this time after waiting a few minutes the car never started. I had it towed to the dealer and they found that a wiring harness was up against the throttle body and wore through the protective insulating tape, then the wires causing the problem.
Another cause might be that a relay in the fuse/relay box under the hood broke
Good luck in your troubleshooting
My brake sensor keeps lighting
If I remember correctly, the Trans Range Sensor, has ALL kinds of GREAT STUFF inexplicably routed through it. It can cause some quite crazy things to happen. There is Heater Hose that likes to leak on the Trans Range Sensor. Look and see if it was contaminated.
