When the temperature increases, the car stalls out and after about 10 minutes the car will start again, going for a short distance before stalling out again. We have taken it to a mechanic, and he replaced the fuel pump and the fuel filter. Immediately after leaving, the car stalls in the middle of 41.

Hello,

It is a safety feature so you don't do any major damage to the engine.

Have the Thermostat, Radiator Fan checked.

If you can find the crank sensor connector, measure the resistance after it stalls and is warm. The resistance should be near 950 ohms. Often times what happens is it heats up and goes open, or otherwise high resistance resulting in stall, or crank no start.
