I have a 94 Mercury Topaz that recently was exhibiting that symptom, but it didn't start until after a mechanic replaced my fuel pump. Apparently he installed a universal pump and may have damaged it upon installation. I put up with that for about 6 months until the car also started dying on hot days. A new mechanic installed a better quality pump, and now my car runs fine.
it could be alot of things from clogged fuel injectors to being out of gas
Have you changed the air filter too?
A 2000 Mercury Sable may sputter due to several issues, including a clogged fuel filter, faulty spark plugs, or malfunctioning ignition coils. Additionally, problems with the fuel injectors or a vacuum leak can contribute to engine sputtering. Regular maintenance and timely inspection of these components can help identify and resolve the issue. If the sputtering persists, it's advisable to have a professional mechanic diagnose the problem.

Vacuum leaks or a malfunctioning throttle position sensor can also contribute to this issue. Proper diagnosis by a mechanic is recommended to pinpoint the exact cause.

have you ever changed the fuel filter ?
It sounds as if the fuel filter is clogged and not getting enough fuel to the injectors.
Look for a hole in the PCV valve hose on the backside of the engine.
The injectors may need cleaned. There may also be a problem with the carburetor not ejecting enough gas to the engine.
