The used 2.5 L engine that was replaced in my Sebring about 2 years ago will either quietly quit or won't restart after about a 30 minute trip once the temp gauge reaches the half way mark if you don't keep revving the rpm's up. (Yet it will idle for over an hour without quitting!) After about 20 minutes of cooling, it will restart again.

The original distributor reinstalled, the block and radiator flushed, and a new thermostat and MAP sensor installed.

What could be causing this problem? Thanks.
