The description sounds like a failing crank position sensor. It heats up and causes a bad signal. Once it cools the sensor works again. That is based on seeing similar issues with other vehicles. When it does not start how fast does the tachometer move?
I cannot find any good service information on that car as it never made it to the U.S. so telling you how to test the sensor is not possible.
