You will most likely need to replace your MAIN RELAY under the dash. This is a common problem with these cars. When it is VERY hot and humid out ... there is a weak point on the circuit board of the relay. There is a spot of solder that will actually pull apart and cause it to lose contact. Once it gets cooler ... or you open the doors and it lets the interior cool down ... the car will start up again. The newer relays have had this problem addressed and once changed ... you should not experience this problem again.
