Blue smoke on startup is a sign of worn valve stem seals. But worn seals wouldn't cause it to die after starting. Check the engine coolant temp sensor. Take a look at these known issues for Taurus

SOURCE: Blueish smoke from the exhaust

Blueish smoke is probably excess fuel. If this is the case, the exhaust should smell gassy. I'm thinking that one of the injectors is leaking...something injector cleaner wouldn't solve (you may have to buy a new injector if that's the case). I would check the spark plugs to see if one looks different than the others, that way you can narrow it down. I took my injectors for my porsche to www.witchhunter.com to have my injectors checked and found that a couple of them were leaking so bad they couldn't be fixed. If you send in your injectors to him and any of them are leaky/unrepairable, he won't charge you for them. :)

SOURCE: Blueish white smoke comeing from exhaust

Hello There

White smoke when first started is normal. If white smoke continues you have an internal coolant leak, i.e., cracked head/blown head gasket.
Black smoke is caused by a rich fuel condition.
Blue smoke is caused by oil consumption.

You need to check your oil cap for yellow/white gunk on the cap if you have this then this is a sign your head gasket is cracked. Check to see if your radiator coolant level is down this is also another sign.

Hope this helps. Please don't forget to rate me.

Many Thanks

Car dies if accelerator is not engaged

the starting problem could be head gasket if it got really hot..... black smoke wouldn't be oil, and gas would stink but not black smoke if it's old, it wouldn't really matter if it had been sitting for 4 months. black smoke is probably caused by a gas mixture problem, or maybe a stuck fuel injector.

You will need to check head gasket. Please check the oil for coolant (milky deposition or presipitation). Also check if you loosing coolant and if coolant has oil in it.
Please kindly let me know if you need more info
