I have a 1995 dodge stratus and it will start when the engine is ice cold but when you drive the car and it gets heat built up in it and you shut it off then it wont restart. What could it be ive replaced the computer, pcv valve, engine coolant temperature sensor, crank position sensor, spark plugs

When it does this check immediatley for fuel and spark.

Disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors- Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
