Car starts up fine when cold but when it reaches normal operation temp car stalls, no codes won't start until it cools down

How long since a tune-up? When the problem is ongoing, if it cranks good but won't start, have a helper crank it while you check for spark at the spark plugs, if spark everywhere, use a gage and check proper fuel pressure and fuel injector pulse. Wear gloves if the engine is hot, try not to spray gas all over the engine when checking fuel pressure. Safety is your responsibility.
If your missing one component, then we track that circuit. If missing all three may have to look for rpm signal. Those are the basics in my opinion.

Well since it throws no codes and starts when cold, but when it gets hot it stalls, I replaced the coil now it's works like new.
