First you have to identify the issue before you can fix it.
Do you have a check engine light on?
Any codes?
You can use a digital volt meter to test the CPS and or the fuel pump.
a simple Ohms resistance test for starters..
Or watch your tachometer needle while cranking when hot (your no start condition).
The needle should pulse... if it does not then the CPS is suspect.
A fuel pressure check at the fuel rail (presta valve) with your no start condition present will tell you if you have fuel pressure or not.
Unlikely that your fuel pump stops working just because the engine is warm.
It sets in the fuel tank and is cooled by the fuel running through it.
