as the title states when driving the car it gets a little hotter than it should, about 200 i think and it will be fine for a little bit, as in maybe 5 minutes, but after that the car dies, and it has to cool off before it will start back up, what could be causing this? it has stock intake and heads, k&n air filter, frpp underdrives, electric fan(just added, car did it before fan), frpp spark plug wires, msd cap only some kind of aftermarket cam( i was told never tore car appart, yet;)) and it also idles up and down thanks for your help
 
check your tfi module on the distributor, when they get too hot ( when they r older) your symptoms fit the description of what the car will do. i belive in 94 or 95 they actually mounted them on the fenderwell in a heat sync. hope this helps
 
As suggested, check for spark and injector pulsing when it won't start.

It's also a good idea to check codes.

Good luck.
