I think it would be a good idea to replace the blue temprature sensor on the thermostat housing.

check your fuel pump. i had the same problem before. i changed a lot of parts. but the problem remains. until i changed the fuel pump. try to check your fuel pressure when the engine is warm before change your fuel pump. just to confirm.
good luck.

Sounds like a dodgy DME relay to me (white relay under the black plastic cover on the passengers side shock tower).

The relay can become intermittent causing start/no start and cutting out problems.
