On the road the temp is in normal range but when slowing to stop and go it instantly runs hot and boils out fluid in a 1999 Taurus?

Sounds like the thermostat is sticking,or you have air in the system.
Top off or fill the cooling system ,fluid should be added thru the overflow bottle not the radiator cap
Have the radiator hoses checked. they may be weak and closing up when engine is slowed down, this will prevent proper circulation of the coolant
Radiator cap may also need replacing,but usually a bad radiator cap will cause overheating any time , not just when slowed or stopped
Check the radiator cooling fans for proper operation - they should be running when the air conditioning or defrosters are on.
Double check the fan wiring harnesses are connected.
These fan have their own fuses - easy to check
