Huh! Did you check your cooling system? It could be the fact that the car is getting too much water once it's time for the oil to start cooling down (once it's at it's normal operating temperature) so that it shuts down automatically. I don't know... I'm just a girl, never had this problem.

next time it dies pull a spark plug RIGHT AWAY, stick it back in the plug wire , lay it on top of engine and crank it. if u dont see a spark jumpin....u have an ignition prob. check the ignition amplifier. prob is u cant test it COLD....gotta be hot.
theres one idea!
