after running down the freeway for 2 hours in the heat of the day. It died and wouldn't start until after it sat idle for 15 minutes.
could it be a sensor or is it just a heat of the day issue?
The van ran fine for 6 hours straight before this problem came up

sounds like the engine got a bit hot from the heavy use. if you want 2 ride like that often and still keep the car, go find a heavy duty radiator. if you have the ability to do it yourself (you need a drain pan and a wrench) then thats the way to go
