What would cause a car to die when it gets hot?

What are any/all the reasons a car will die when it gets hot (210-220 degree). Thanks

210-220 should be fine. thats not hot at all.

if it died between 250-260. then i'd be worried about heat.

make sure there is a good amount of fresh dielectric grease under the ign module and also that carb fuel is not boiling in the bowl or lines, and that the pickup coil is not messing up on you
