The CPS can cause this hot-start/hard-no start problem, but a faulty fuel pump will do the same. I just went thru this with a 126 gas car. After 15-20 min or miles of driving, car would start bucking and shutdown. After an hr. or so of cooling off, it would restart and drive for 4-5 miles, then do the same again. 15 yr. old fuel pump had given up the ghost. Just another possibility.
