Hi, the engine dies because the car is getting hot ,this is preventing further damage, be sure to check your cooling sistem , check if your fan is coming on at the right time ,keep your fluid levels up, your car also have a temperature swith that goes at the cilinder head ,this swith gets bat with time and can cause overheating problems, this problem does not seems to have nothing to do whith the transmission , good luck

replace the temperture sensor.

the idle air motor in the throttle body is probably not working right it lets more air in the intake when its cold and is supposed to shut off when it warms up if its not shuttin off then it is probably not closing
