Hello,
I recently bought a 1992 Olds 88 Royale LS (184,000 miles) for use as a delivery vehicle (temporarily). It drives like a charm, but sometimes won't start when the engine gets hot (not too hot, about halfway up the gauge, ~200 degrees), usually afer lots of slow uphill driving on a hot day. After cooling off for a few minutes, it starts and runs fine. Is this some kind of sensor problem? Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

I suspect it is the ignition module and is located under the coil packs. Also replace the plugs it will help
