Any chance it is not getting sufficent fuel.  Does the fuel pump click
faster and faster as it gets hotter?  Could be trash in the fuel line.

runs great and idles smoothly until hot.  By hot I mean like after driving
for half an hour in 90 degree temps (I live in south Florida).  It then
becomes unable to sustain an idle.  It just idles rougher and slower until
it dies.  I suspect an ignition problem although all components were
replaced within the last 18 months.  Any suggestions as to likely culprits?
