Try to use proper grammar and syntax when you post up here. It's really distracting and takes me a hell of a lot longer to read your post with a lot of .. between.. every .. sentence..

If it is heat related, it may be your power transistor. There are two plugs on top of your intake manifold. The obvious one is the coil pack and the other is a ~2" flat plug with an 8 pin connector, that little black thing is the transistor.

could be a number of things honestly, you are starting in a good area though, check your ignition module as well, when those get hot they tend to shut the car down and when they really blow, your car won't run at all
