Check your voltage when the car is running with a multimeter. Just a thought. Maybe not the problem because you can start it at a later time after it dies, but it could be your alternator. I've seen it where a battery can gain enough charge after dying and then letting it sit, to start the car.

These are symtoms of a hull effect sensor going bad once it gets hot. Check the cam and crank sensors.

Sounds alot like a crankshaft position sensor or cam sensor. I had a northstar caddy that have crankshaft sensors fail constantly, you sound like you have the exact symptoms. Thats probably why its throwing a cel, and you probably have the corresponding code.
