I would start by going back to the ignition system. Isn't it possible, for
instance,
for a faulty coil and/or condensor to operate more poorly, the warmer it gets?
BTW, how long does it take for the car to start misbehaving? One minute? Ten
minutes?
Is it a stock mechanical ignition?
He might recheck the spark once the car starts acting up.
