Heat changes the electrical resistance, and thence operation, of electrical components. That is possibly the underlying issue. The way to diagnose this is immediately after the shut down. If the vehicle is not starting at all, once hot, a no start diagnostic will quickly pinpoint the reason. In terms of the specific faulty component, it could be items such as a cam or crankshaft position sensor, ignition coils, and so forth. If you request the no start diagnostic, the mechanic will definitely find the root cause though.
