After a ride on the highway for a couple of hours or an hour or so in city traffic, if I turn of the car it wont start again even when getting a boost. I need to let it cool off for an hour and a half before it will start. I changed the temp sender under the thermostat but that didn't change anything. Anyone got an idea

Start with some diagnostic stuff in the no start condition.

Fuel pressure at the rail, with a gauge, is where I Would start.

Does it crank merrily or drag? Good battery is crucial on P2cars

It would be easier if you can get a look at an OBD tool with live data. Heat soak issues can affect just about anything... Hall effect sensors can stop working, injectors might get stuck open (flooding the engine), a bad relay might stop working...

Without diagnostic information, or at least a highly detailed account of how it acts while trying to start it, its just a stab in the dark trying to guess what it might be.
