I have a 98 honda civic hatch with a 1.6 automatic it runs fine until it gets up to normal operating temp then the engine shuts down and will not restart until it has cooled I already replaced the pickup and the coil with no change
You say the engine shuts down when it gets hot if it runs rough before doing so it could be the coolant temperature sensor allowing the engine to overfuel if the engine cuts out in a couple of seconds but sounds smooth it could be the fuel pump , if it cuts out instantly its electrical.

Mine is doing some thing similar. Mine wont shut down but it runs like it dropped 2 cylinders. This happens when it reaches a set temp on my gage. I did disconnect the the coolant temp sensor and it did stop missing. I tried to drive it but it still missed but not nearly as bad as before. It may have still missed because it was disconnected. I wasn't getting a code either untill I disconnected it. The price isn't too bad to replace it so I may try a replacement. It beats replacing the Idle Air Control Valve for over $200 (new). I did replace it though with one from a junk yard and it didn't help either.
