THIS OTHERWISE VERY RELIABLE CAR STALL OUT WHEN GAS TANK IS 1/2 FULL OR LESS IN HOT WEATHER, ENGINE TEMP IS NORMAL AND ALL FLUIDS ARE FULL. EXTREMELY VEXING FOR A CAR THAT STILL HAS A LOT OF LIFE IN IT?

First thing you need to do is have the codes read, Autozone does it free, Post the results with the code number(s). Even if the service engine light is not on, there should be freeze frame data stored.
If it won't make it to Autozone, buy a cheap scanner, they can be had for 30-40 dollars, a good investment, since they cover all cars sold in the USA from 96 on...
