My best guess would be that the crank position sensor is defective. When they are starting to go, they will first act up while the car is hot. It will eventually act up all the time and your car will not start. The crank sensor is located behind or next to the harmonic balancer (crankshaft pulley).
My longshot guess is the throttle position sensor (TPS). A defective TPS could make your car act up and stall while driving. The TPS is located in the throttle body area.
