Could be the ignition reference sensor.  That typically acts up when hot.  
   
  I've replaced both sensors on one of our V8s with ones from an I-5 engined car.  Their wires are longer, but otherwise the sensors are the same.  All these sensors are the same.  That is their only differences are in the length of the wire lead and the color of the connector.  The part numbers for the I-5 cars are  034905381  and  034905381A.   They're typically half to two thirds the price of the V8 versions with shorter wires.   All I did was find a place to ziptie the extra wire where it couldn't come into contact with the exhaust plumbing.

  I was out in the V8 yesterday and after shutting it off for 5-10 minutes it failed to start. Turns over great and you can hear it trying to start but just won't catch. Lately after it has been run i.e. it will start but stall if gas is not applied. This morning dead cold started fine and easy. Is this symptomatic of the the fly wheel sensor? This is what I came up with after looking through the archives. If so has anyone bought these sensors recently and where, I know form the archive different models have cheaper sensors but I could not find any part numbers. Many Thanks, George
