I had a 280Z that did the same thing it turned out to be the fuel pump. It would run get hot then stop pumping cool down then started working again. . It only did it on days it was above 90 deg. Just an idea.

I think that is my problem as well....
I recalled that it was a pretty hot day over there in the San Fernando Valley area where I was when this happened to me, so it's been about a week now and I haven't experienced the problem again, well I haven't driven the vehicle that much either with the 4th Of July Holiday, so we'll see how it goes this week, thanks so much for your reply, I appreciate a lot and I'll keep in mind.

Might want to check your fuel pressure. This sounds like what happens when the fuel pump or fuel pressure regulator is starting to go out.
