Help! Engine dies when it's HOT outside

Guys, this just started happening today. It's friggin hot outside. The engine is NOT overheating according to the gauge, but after driving for a while, it just dies and won't restart until it cools. Electrical? Computer? Module?

Also, she feels like she's running on 7 out of 8 now.

WTF? Thanks.
