Change out your Engine Coolant Temp sensor. Post back if that doesn't cure the issue.

It did not work. If it set for about 2 hours it will start right up,but after it run for a while it may die and if you shut it off it wont start for about 2 hours,you can hold the peddle down and it will start but it flood and just die.

Have you tried swapping out the distributor? The older distributors have a couple of pickups in the bottom. When they become hot, the vehicle shuts down. See the module?

I have the same problem with my 96 dodge caravan runs great for the first 10 minutes then once the engine gets warm it wants to die every ime it comes to a stand still. Already replaced the distributor cap but still no victory???
