I agree with knealeski that the most likely cause given the conditions described is heat induced failure of the engine speed sensor.

?

The Speed and Reference sensors are mounted on the left (Driver's) side of the bell housing area.

?

The Speed Sensor counts the Teeth of the Ring Gear (mounted rear most of the two and higher / further from the rotating mass), The Signal from this sensor is required at all times for the engine to run.

?

The Reference Sensor Scans for a Single Pin pressed into the Flywheel which corresponds to TDC #1 Cylinder (mounted foremost of the two and lower / closer to the rotating mass),?The Signal from this sensor is only required at start up).

?

Try to induce the Engine to Die / No Start Condition then pour a water (room temp) over the Speed Sensor to artificially cool it quickly and Start the Engine to confirm Diagnosis.

?

Good Luck, Randy
