It could be a lot of things. My 2003 Geo Tracker does this, it will run fine on the road, but as it gets hot in town or idling in line somewhere, it will shut off and will crank but not start for about 10 minutes, then it will start and run fine until it gets hot again. My mechanics tried all the diagnostics, and couldn't find the problem, so I simply removed the thermostat so the car doesn't get so hot. Works fine. I am still looking for the solution, as I don't want to run the car without a thermostat forever. My mechanics are great, but say it could cost a thousand dollars to find an intermittent problem like that.

Would a craked reservoir cap cause your car to run hot it is leaking from the cap?
A Cracked reservoir Cap would in most cases cause your car to over heat. After your car has ran a while, and built up pressure it would begin to loose water in the form of steam. Once your car is parked and shut off it will then begin to loose water. Once parked your car looses compression which causes the water to boil instead of steam. You would then loose water at a faster rate emptying your radiator and causing your car to run hot.
