If you use the search function on the above toolbar, type in CPS or crank position sensor. They have a habit of failing when hot and sometimes working when cool.
I'm not suggesting your problem can't be something else like a failing fuel pump, but the CPS seem to attract this type of failure - working one minute and failing the next....
