Re: Ghost in the engine?
2 things come to mind. The Ignition Coil is going bad and starting to overheat. OR The Fuel Pump is going bad and starting to overheat.

Both os these are known to overheat and cause the vehicle to shutdown and then you will have to wait for them to cool down before they will allow you to restart. From your description it sounds more like the FUEL PUMP, the FUEL PUMP will overheat when you get below half tank of gas - at this point the pump is not fully submerged in fuel wchich helps keep it cool. Have you noticed the FUEL level at any of the times it shutdown?
