could have a bad cam sensor, or fuel pressure bleeding off and boiling in the rail causing vapor lock

It may be associated with hot underhood temps... id pop the hood and let it idle for however long u typically do with thr hood up and see if it still does it

Crank/cam sensor getting hot and having high resistance sounds more likely... when it wont start check if the car has spark from the coil
