Normally I'd say to check your fuel pressure, easy enough to do with a carbed system...dunno about fuel injection. Could be vapor lock but I kind of doubt that since it will run untill you shut it off. I had a problem like this some years back and it ended up being a pos fuel pump. Maybe somebody knowledgeable about fi can help you...you might also try the carb/fi forum.
If you starter is engaging and spinning the engine, its not heat soak...its spark or fuel. My money is a gremlin in your fuel system.

it sounds like an ignition module to me. They always go bad and thats the symptoms when they go bad.

Sorry, been gone a few days. As far as I know, once they go bad you can only replace them. No adjustment possible. I don't even really know what all that would involve, I just know several people that have had to deal with that problem. Of course now this reply is so late you probably have already figured it out. Let us know.
