No bashing here. Just warning the OP not to fall into the trap of throwing expensive parts at a problem because it fixed someone else's similar problem.
But since you brought it up:
YOU need to be more careful/responsible than to tell an inexperienced person to just throw parts at his rig *****-nilly. Don't like being challenged about it? Don't do it then.

Ok well back to helping solve this problem haha but I did try testing stuff but I just can't figure it out so I'm starting to put parts in it. But I'm also pulling parts from a buddies rig and testing them on mine. If you guys tell me what and how to test I will keep testing.

OP, if I understand correctly, you said you didn't check for spark since it fires. If I understand correctly, it fires when it is cold but not after it warms up. Since it possibly isn't firing when it's warm, have you checked for spark then?
Perhaps I'm missing something but thought I would ask.

Took it on a long drive tonight and it did just fine when running at speeds. Pulled onto a gravel road and the first pot hole started to make it act up it died shortly after. Popped the hood and let it cool for maybe 10 min then it started right up and drove the 45 min home. But during the day when it's hot can barley make 10 min trip
