Starts and runs well, then doesn't restart after reaching destination when its hot & humid
Lots of reasons. 2.2L or 3.0L V6? no engine told and is and engine question , no VIN and if told we tell you what's under that hood.
Driving to KEY West FL. huh, LOL !!!!!
not told is does it CRANK ok fast or starter is dead.?
or cranks fast but will not start,. hot. << guess yes.
so in 18 years no tuneups done??? spark, filters ,belts ,fluids?
all spark parts bad, they hate humidity when bad, for 100years.
2.2L has 4 cops spark coils in large single unit. it may be bad
or just those old old spark plugs under it. and 4 boots bad too.
V6. uses same funny unified coil pack, but 2x3 and same exact answer packs , boots and spark plugs bad.
that is about it, but no starts have 50 causes and lots of tests to find
but a tune up is always good to do , (ignored a long time)

engine coolant temp. sensor is cracked pull it out it is on the side of the head.. easy fix you will see its cracked when you pull it 15 dollar fix

Blair, I would take a look at he TPS (throttle position sensor) located on the throttle body. In other words, it sounds as thought sensor when heated is changing its value to "open" or "shorted".
If the car starts OK when cold, use a hair dryer to heat the TPS when the engine is cold to see if you can duplicate the problem.
Also is the a service engine light on? Codes?
If you have a "digital volt/ohm meter" available you can read the variable resistance of the sensor when the problem occurrs to determine if the sensor is defective.

if its not damaged spark plugs or cables then it could damaged or water in distributor, If there is a black coil it could be losing current wait until night time and start vehicle you will see current light up like a christmas tree

try to get your batteries checked, try to replace the sparkplugs too, u maybe flooding fuel. hope this helps

It's getting fuel all the way clear up to the motor I checked on it 1st thing & fuel squirts out of throttle so I thought maybe starter but I guess TPS throttle position sensor could make sense or engine coolant sensor but it's not running hot or even close to halfway hot & sometimes there's a check engine light on and the next time you start it there's no check engine light on.
