sounds like thin oil /low hpop pressure.

Or heck it could be CPS. You need more testing first tho.
I second this.

Could be a cut o-ring on an injector or the ipr. Classic hot-die or hot-no-start cause.

that's pretty much what it does is die when it's hot so it's an o ring?

It's very likely. If you can get live data or check codes that would help to know what is going on.

This is the latest CPS that should be used. Motorcraft Cam Position Sensor CPS 94-03

In my opinion, this is not a CPS issue. However FLAPS cps are sketchy at best and it might be having issues when it gets warm.

I think you have an o-ring issue, either ipr or injector(s). You can either throw parts at it or get the tools to get live data and codes.

Two things....

1) Have you followed the no-start flow chart someone provided for you?

2) As a rule, DO NOT use parts store sensors and parts. Only use Motorcraft. It has been proven time and time again that those parts are mediocre at best and sometimes bad right out of the box.

I'm sure a little cold water splashes the underside of the engine, mostly the pan and accessories. It sure is a lot different than pouring the ice water straight into the valley of the engine.

Secondly, I don't think this test would even do anything. The problem is hot thin oil getting by a worn or damaged o-ring. Have you even tried this "test" to see if it actually works?

Thirdly, the o-rings for the IPR valve are only like $14. Why risk cracking a block with ice water for $14? If you can't figure out if that is the problem or not, its way better to just change the o-rings than douse your hot engine with ice water.

Good point in the 14 dollar fix.
