Answer
Hello James,
Temperature sensor?
Just a guess.

Check to see if the fuel pump in the tank is running when you turn the key to run.
It is operated by a relay, but there is a backup system to operate the pump in case of relay failure, and that is an oil pressure switch.
It could be that your relay is bad, and you are depending on the oil pressure switch completely.
Your oil is thicker when cool, and may build to the necessary pressure when cold, but not get there when hot.
But check for the pump running first. If it runs for three seconds or so, even when the car won't start, then you need to check for spark from a plug wire.
