My guess is that this is not a car or truck, but rather a 4 wheeler. It may have a low oil shutoff, or bad coil that fails as it gets hot, but hen cools a bit and seems fine. Check for spark immediately as it fails.
Could be the ignition coil or it also could be a plugged catalytic converter. The converter being plugged will show several different signs, 1>) a rotten egg smell when vehicle is off 2.) loss of power 3.) fuel mileage drop. The ignition coil could also be weak. not bad enough to overheat and shut it down but enough that when its hot and shut off that it wont allow for spark due to being hot.
Could be a problem in the ignition circuit. Check or test coil and ignition module-one of them may be shutting down or shorting out when they get hot. Verify by checking for spark at a plug wire immediately after it shuts off: if no spark, it is an ignition problem. Besides the coil and ignition module, other possibilities are the crank position sensor, cam position sensor, ecu, the ASD relay (automatic shuit down relay-it's in the power distribution box under hood). If that relay fails, all power is cut to coil and fuel injectors, and maybe the fuel pump also. Good luck.
check for a bad coil. it may be shutting down engine when the thermostat opens. if bad it will not produce enough spark under warm or hot conditions. if this did not do it! check the fuel pump it may be getting hot and shutting off the engine. change the fuel pump relay with another of the same size. and see if thats your problem.
you burned it down lol ..do a compression check first sounds like it got hot like hot hot ... warped head when they get that hot sesors burn also . just saying . back to the begining what really made it get hot just saying most people put fluid back in but you still got the first problem ????
ok its one of two things you need to check when it cuts off if you have spark or fuel if you lose fuel pressure replace pump it gets hot and makes noise like its running but its not pumping fuel and if you lose spark you need to replace ignition control module has a hair line crack in it and when gets hot the crack expands and loses contact and wala no spark
its either the ignition coil or the distributor...when they get hot they shut down....when it happens check for spark at the coil...if you have spark replace the distributor
