I have a 98 Ford Taurus. If I run it for a while and turn off engine, it could not be started right away. I need to wait for about 10-20 minutes and everything works fine then. Today it happened again. My friend just hit the starter with a sticker. It just worked.
What is the problem it could be?
BTW,
There are some other problems which I am not sure if they are related:
1. The turning signal/hazard flash light intermittently fail. After I changed the flasher, the problem is gone.
2. This problem rarely happens and happens just twice. The fan kept running after I turn off engine. I know this is normal if it lasts for just couple of minutes but my car's fan runs like for hours and almost drained the battery. Thank god, this only happened twice.
Any info is appreciated.

Sounds like you have some sort of problem with the electrical. The problem may be relatively minor though. Take your car to Autozone or Pepboys and let them run a free diagonostic on your car. If one of your major regulators is dying, but not dead, it should show up. The other thing is go register with Ford. com and see if your specific Taurus has a recall. If so the recall could be your prob. Anywho good luck.
