It is usually an evaporation system leak in Ford vehicles.
Being a 1999 Ford Taurus SE, I would check into the fuel system, fuel filter and spark plugs. Fuel filters are recommended for replacement every 15,000 miles. They should be accompanied with a complete fuel system to clean out the throttle body, intake valves, and fuel line at the same time. Spark plug replacements should be replaced every 30,000 miles.
