Hi,
What you are describing sounds like a bad crankshaft position sensor (aka, RPM sensor). When they start going bad, oftentimes they are adversely affected by heat causing the engine to stall. Once it cools off, the engine will restart.
Do me a favor. Take a look through this link and let me know if your vehicle mirrors what is discussed.

Let me know. Also, I attached a pic below showing the location of the sensor. Check to make sure there are no wiring issues.
Take care,
Joe
