Your engine may be running in open loop due to a defective coolant temperature sensor, which on my 1991 Cherokee L6 is located on the thermostat housing. This is different from the coolant temperature sender, which is located at the rear of the valve head next on the driver's side.

If you've already changed the CPS, there's also a sync sensor, and a latch solenoid. Either one might get weak and fail when hot. Also, check your oil viscosity and the oil pressure sensor because the motor will automatically shut down to prevent damage if the sensor says oil pressure is too low.

When driving engine gets hot and shut off?

The cause is most likely " fuel line vapor lock" This is caused when the fuel line is too close to or improperly insulated from the heat of the engine. When the engine runs and gets hot, the heat effects the fuel in the fuel line by vaporizing the fuel before it gets to the engine. The fuel is not liquid like it should be when it gets to the engine. A quick check to do is when the problem happens, lift hood and let the engine cool down for 5 to 10 minutes, then try to start it. If engine starts, it most likely points to "vapor lock". You can move the line or wrap it, insulate it to keep it from occurring.
