Generally when a car runs, gets hot and then dies, then restarts after cooling off, it is a bad ignition module. Most autoparts stores can test them, but I would replace it.

Had the exact same problem, same year vehicle. Drive 15 or 20 miles and it would shut off. Replaced the Crank Position Sensor (CPS).... solved the problem!!
