The CPS (crank position sensor) goes bad when hot quite often, the car will start and run until the CPS gets too warm. Easy to change, $45 online.

Sometimes the OTHER CPS (cam position sensor) will fail but it's really kinda rare.
I sincerely appreciate your time. I need to find a local car club. I miss having that security that if anything goes wrong there'll be a dozen or more members offering to help. Reliable help. Again, this is useful knowledge and much appreciated.
