Hi Sharon,
Do you know which engine you have in the car? If it is one that has a distributor from which the wires for the spark plugs arise (it has a round cap with a central wire and 4 or 6 surrounding wires, one going to each spark plug) then it sounds to me like you may have a sensor inside the distributor that is heat sensitive and breaking down as it gets warm. The easiest way to check for this is to do a readout of the engine control computer that runs the electrical controls of the engine. To do the readout, take your ignition key and turn the ignition switch as follows:
"on-off-on-off-on" where "on" is the position where the key sits when the engine is running normally (i.e. not the starter position). Do this turning on and off of the key within a total time of less than 5 seconds. Leave the key in the "on" position and then look to the "Check Engine" light to begin to flash, pause, flash, pause, etc. Count the number of flashes before each pause and make a written or mental note of these numbers. You can repeat the readout as often as you like once the flashing stops, so as to be sure you have counted the number of flashes accurately. You will notice that the last two sets of flashes have 5 in each. Then take the list of numbers of flashes and group them in pairs, two at a time, in the order they were seen so as to form a set of two digit numbers. For example, the last two sets of flashes have 5 in each so that last two digit number will be the number "55". That number is a code for "end of the readout". All the two digit numbers that came out before "55" are codes for possible reasons that your car dies out. Write back and tell me the other numbers that you got. For example, if the first two sets of flashes form the number "11" (e.g. one flash, pause, one flash, pause) that is the code that says that the sensor in the distributor is indeed the cause of the car dying. But there could be many other code numbers and reasons, so do the readout and let me know.
