Check and make sure your battery cables are clean and tight. You may want to check your ground wires inside the car, under the carpet. I had a bad ground under there.

Replace the crank sensor as they get hot they will sometimes quit working. The temp light comes on everytime the engine is turned off and the switch is on. Next time it dies spray or pour some water on the sensor then see if it will crank and if it does you know what it is.

Car warms up then dies
Your ignition coil could be the problem. Old coils will begin to expand more with heat causing them to fail. Once they cool down, they condense and work again.

If it only warms up to operating temperature and dies check the EGR Valve. It should be open within 10 minutes or so. If not the engine will die out although it will start after the engine cools down again

Car dies when it heats up and won't crank back up until cooled
normally a speed control sensor can solve this problem, but also check the crank senson.
