The V8s have a common problem where some of the sensors die from
heat and old age. One of the symptoms is that, when the CPS gets
hot, it stops sensing and the car won't start. When it cools off,
the car start just fine.

Not the same symptoms as yours, but I'd pull the diagnostic
codes to see if they provide a clue.
