I have a 91 Beretta that when the engine is warm (ie car has been sitting for about 2 hours), it runs for exactly 10 minutes then dies. It wont start unless I let it sit for about 5 minutes then it's fine. If the enigine is cols (ie car sits over night) the car doesn't die after 10 minutes. Its a real pain because sometimes I have to sit there for 15 minutes before I want to ge anywhere.

Previous owner of my 89 beretta said he had the same problem,
Not sure exactly, but he installed some sort of cooling fan that i switch on everytime the car starts, and it never overheats... Look into that...

Common problem is the ignition module failing when hot. It sits under your coils. Have to remove as an assembly. Take off coils and have Advance or Autozone check it. Crank sensor is also a primary suspect.
