Default 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee-won't restart when hot and has burning plastic smell

My 02 Jeep Grand Cherokee (V8) won't restart once the engine gets hot. I have replaced: battery, starter, alternator. I've checked the ground as well and it's fine. If I let the car cool, after 20-30 minutes it will restart just fine. If I leave it running so I won't have this problem, I smell burning plastic or rubber. When it won't restart, the lights come on and panel lights up but it won't even turn over. Have had lots of expensive electrical troubleshooting done and they still can't find the problem. Any ideas? Thanks.
