    Two questions for the community;
    After driving my 1991, 348TS, for a while I’ve had a couple of instances where the car turns off on it own. I can just go ahead and turn on immediately without problem. Any ideas?
    Also, how hot does your car typically run?

    Sounds like an electrical problem. Could be fuel as well. I would get it diagnosed.

    My money is on fuel. Replace relay (cheap) first and then filter, in that order. Porsche 911s from 80s-90s had this known gremlin so drivers advised to keep extra relay in glove box at all times. Symptom of failure is car not starting or cutting off. If electrical, there typically might be warning lights of any variety on your dash while driving and problem manifests.
