Default after engine reaches normal temp. shuts off

Engine starts when cold and runs but when reaches normal temp. it starts to idle rough and then it shuts down and will not start again until cools completely down.

it sounds like something with the auto-shutdown relay. I don't know how that does or doesn't work but thats my first thought.

the fuse panel in the engine bay. I doubt the relay is bad and more likely you need to find out why the PCM is shutting it down
