Could be the fuel pump getting hot and shutting down... or a very clogged fuel filter.

Lift pump, fuel pump.... same thing in my book it gets the fuel from the tank to the engine......

fuel pump relays!

There are 2 fuel pump relays under the steering column. They are about 3/4" square, either silver or black.
Replace both and you should fix your problem.
I had the same problem about a month ago.

I have a similar problem on my '98 V8i - particularly when it's hot outside (> 28*C) - has anyone else had/solved this problem?

Lipadi, you say similar problem. If it cuts out/shuts off when real hot out I would say fuel pump.

But why not help by providing more info on what maintenance has been done, mileage, and what the exact issues are.
