Electronic circuits are affected by temperature. In fact we use cooling spray to pinpoint the offending components on circuit boards. In my 35 years as a professional mechanic, I've learned that your sysmptoms usually indicate the ignition module is going open-circuit when it gets warm. After a cool off period the circuit resets until it gets warm again. I don't remember EVER having a fuel pump cause your symptoms.

If the fuel pump checks out okay, check inside the gas tank... it could be that there is something in there that covers the intake... when pressure is released, it floats away from the intake the the vehicle runs fine again until it covers the intake again.
An unrolled condom slipped into a gas tank is a really evil prank to pull on someone - and causes exactly the problems you described.

Fuel pump is going. Especially if as it goes dead it just seems to lose power then stalls and can't get started again.

you could have a crank sensor or a ignition module going bad. When it won't crank check and see if it has fire or not. Autozone can check some modules to see if it is bad.

Fuel pump or fuel pump relay getting hot and shutting off.

those answers sound good, you could get Auto Zone to run a code scan :)

IF YOUR FUEL PUMP IS GOING BAD YOU CAN CHECK THE FUEL PREASURE. YOU COULD ALSO HAVE A BAD MODULE.
