Thumbs up Car falls flat on its face!

Ok, I'm hoping you guys can give me an idea of what is going on with my car.

The car runs absolutely amazing when I get in the car and start off. Once the car starts to heat up the temp gets to about 205 degrees... The Temp outside has been around 105 so I think this is maybe an issue also. Once the car gets to 205 degrees it completely dies it wont idle, cruise, absolutely nothing until it cools back down.
I was told to move the map sensor off the manifold and mount it on the firewall so maybe it wont get so hot.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

How are you determining that the car is at 205? In older cars pistons would swell and not allow you to move, I haven't ever heard of these motors doing that.

I don't know what would cause this, but I'd suggest venting your hood to reduce temps and hopefully keep it from happening. Here's the DIY thread:

205 is pretty much perfect temps for fuel combustion and atomization. research what are actually "good temps" for power, etc.

seems like a coolant temp to fuel trimming issue in the map.
