Want this question answered?
The engine stalls and will not restart.
Does the camshaft position sensor drive the oil pump on a 99 ford tauraus 3.0 engine? Ford Taurus: 3.0 liter 12 valve engine, 1997 - 2006. The shaft that is used to rotate the camshaft position sensor also rotates the oil pump. The shaft is driven by a worm gear on the camshaft. The position sensor end of the shaft can fail and poor engine performance results, if the entire shaft quits rotating because of a gear failure the oil pump quits rotating (pumping) and the resulting lack of engine lubrication causes the crankshaft bearings to fail and the engine will stop (permanently) within seconds.
your engine quits, starved of fuel .
keep driving till the engine quits
When it go's out and the engine quits are when you can no longer set the timing with an engine scanner.

The engine blows. Usually pistons shoot into the engine. In most cases the engine will have to be replaced.
Pull the fuse for the fuel pump and then run the engine until it quits.
