Shuts off on me randomly when the weather is hot outside. I can be driving and it’ll shut off or in neutral

I have seen the crankshaft angle sensor start to go out which can cause this problem, also you should run the codes to see if any are stored. The crankshaft sensor may not leave a code FYI.

Here is a guide to help us and the location of the sensor in case you want to swap it out:
