Is that an old mechanical fuel pump/carburated engine? If so, you probably have a condition called "vapor lock". The mechanical fuel pump gets weak and when the fuel warms up it literally boils inside the pump, creating a pocket of vapor that won't pump. To test the hypothesis, next time it happens try pouring water on the fuel pump to see if it will start. If it is injected, that isn't the problem, but I think the 70's vintage engines were still carburated. Feel free to contact me directly if you need to discuss the situation further. replace the ignition coil.

How do you replace the summer thermostat to a winter thermostat in a 96 Dodge Caravan 3.0 liter?
You don't. The proper thermostat is 195 degrees. The only reason to change the thermostat is because the one in it went bad. If you use a lower temperature thermostat, or none, the heater won't get warm, and in the summer, you can overheat. If you find a higher temperature one and install it, it is possible the engine will heat up as much as 1 minute faster, but the engine may run hotter as well, making it less efficient and possibly decreasing its lifespan.
Where is the thermostat located and how do you replace it on a 1989 Nissan Sentra?
To Replace the thermostat if you follow the water pump toward the back of the engine. The thermostat housing is located right before all of the coolant hoses go into the water pump it is held onto the water pump with 3 bolts with 10mm bolts. the best way is to remove the three bolts and take out the old thermostat and scrape away the old gasket material. then take gasket and new thermostat and put rtv silicone around the top of the thermostat ( I recommend using the 1 minute silicone) then slip the thermostat into thermostat housing. Next take gasket and coat with silicone on both sides of gasket. then slip it in and finger tighten the three bolts. let set for 1 minute or 12 to 24 hours if 1 minute silicone is not used then torque down to appropriate specs don't overtighten
