It could possibly be your temperature sensor. I had a Buick with the same problem. In winter, it ran fine. When the weather warmed up, the car would sputter and die. A defective temp. sensor will cause your car's ECM to mis-read the coolant's temp. So it will adjust your fuel input as if the outside temp. was -30,causing an over-rich fuel mixture.

hello ralph...check the coolant temp sensor. It acts as a choke to richen fuel mixture when cold. If it doesn't work correctly, hard starting will occur. Once engine reaches operating temp, the problem is usually non-existent. also....
Worn spark plugs.
Fouled spark plugs.
Worn distributor cap and rotor.
Old ignition wires.
Low engine coolant level.
Faulty MAP sensor...any of these will effect cold starting....
Good luck...i hope this helps.

Try a crank sensor. Next time it stops pour or spray water on it and see if it will start. If it does you will know what you need.

I had the same problem with my 2007 passat. The external ait temperature sensor measures the outside air temp and displays this on your dashboard computer. If this sensor is not working properly it can cause your ac to blow hot air. If there is a little snowflake symbol by the air temp on your display that is an indication that this sensor may be bad. Get this sensor replaced and it should fix your problem.
