Engine Problems On and Off Again

My Mom is having a problem with her daily driver, a 98 Ford Taurus. I don’t know the details on the engine but I think it is a DOHC 6 cyc. This problem has happened twice now but fortunately she has not been stranded in a bad place. She had no warning that there was a problem. She went into a store came back out just a couple of minutes later & car would not start. Called for a tow truck & while waiting for about an hour tried again & it started right up as if nothing had ever happened. The car ran fine for about a month. Now, it has happened again. This time the car started right up but after moving about 100' it suddenly died. Again, it would not start. After letting it sit for an hour it started right up again. She has driven it a couple of days now with no problems. What do you guys think this could possibly be?

Really appreciate your help & opinions on this one.

Thanks

Buck
