I had this problem with an old Bug. With the Bug, the fuel line had been replaced and ran too close to the exhaust manifold. The heat would cause it to eventually vaporlock and the car would stall. I would let it sit for a little while and cool down then it would run again. It seldom happened during the winter as it was a lot harder for it to get too hot.
