Car starts and runs for 2 hrs, then if outside temp is 72 or above it will studder and quit. If i allow car to sit and cool off it will start back up. If not the car will start but as soon as i put it in drive and stop at the next mailbox it will quit again. Everytime.

When it cranks and won't start do you have spark?If not its most likely a bad crank shaft position sensor.
