This sounds like a bad (probably cracked) ignition coil.

First, the coil gets hot when operating, and this is normal.

If it is cracked, it gets hot to the point where its resistance gets so much higher that it cannot provide enough voltage for spark.

When it cools back down it starts working fine again.

Force 120, 1999, no start cold, stalls out after running for 10 min, cranks hard restarts after sitting few minutes. Think fuel pump, any mercy mechanics out there that can give me a hand with this

Don't know this car. Check fuel pressure with a fuel pressure gauge- if correct, not a problem with the pump. Also make sure the pressure will hold for some time with key off. It should hold pressure for several minutes, maybe 20 minutes, some maybe a bit less, but it must hold pressure for a time. If pressure is good, check for spark when it won't restart. If spark is lost, suspect the crank position sensor.

Accent 2000 runs well then stalls once hot and will not start till cooled off

Check your coolant level and overflow bottle for proper fill. Or try running it With radiator cap loose to see if it still stalls. If it still stalls and coolant levels are good you need to check temp sensor. May be more than One. If you did install a new one, it may have been faulty or damaged. If all that fails then try an idle positioning sensor. The spring may be worn.
