Keeps shutting off

Hi everyone - When I drive alot in the heat. My car shuts off. I wait a couple of minutes and my battery will get me another mile. Let it sit overnight and I can drive it (just not alot).
My mechanic has changes fuel pump, alternator (twice) and battery.
Any ideas?

    By the way it is a 1999 Eurovan. My mechanic had it for several weeks and drove it and let it sit running for hours and it never shut off.
