may be a waterpump issue or the cooling fan may not be working..some are electric others are driven by the belts..withthe engine off(and I mean stopped) try to spin the belt driven fan by hand,if it freewheels its bad,,(clutch unit on fan no good) this will not move the air through the radiator fins good enough to cool prperly..good luck..
Check the radiator cooling fan.Is it running when the engine gets hot.It should run.If not then its the problem.Also get the coolant level checked.If the coolant is low or if its getting leaked then it can be the issue.
1- check for codes with scanner to see why check light coming on. 2 unbolt exhaust before caterlic convertor. Run car to see if still does it.If it does not the caterlic converter is the problem.the car temp should not go over 220 degrees. if car is getting to hot it will shut off,check cooling system and cooling fans to make sure they are comming on. Also if water is flowing through thermastat.Map sensor when gets hot could cut out. some places to look. doug
definatly crankshaft position sensor, had same problem hour ago and changed it and started right up.. crankshaft positions sensors are known to cause this problem, stays open circuit when hot.
Possibly a crank sensor on or around the harmonic balancer, acts as a magnet like on an old buick. When you get the truck to fire up run it until she gets hot shut it and try to restart if no start continues try spraying starter fluid on the crank sensor itself. What happens is the sensor overheats and wont register that your cranking the engine. Spraying the starting fluid on the sensor will cool it dramaticlly enough for you to restart.
does it run hot while driving or in traffic?
if running hot at idle could be water pump not circulating enough try revving engine some and see if temp comes down. also check your fan clutch.
if running hot going down road probably radiator
