I have a 2001 explorer. On hot days it acts as though ot is vaporlocking and will stall while diving. it does restart and will drive but will accur again. this only happens when the temp is in ths 100's
 






'Vapor Lock' is a term from 50 years ago when the fuel pressure to the carburetors was 6-7 psi. Your car uses 60-65 psi which far overcomes any vapor creation within the fuel system.

How long since you changed your fuel filter?

How about an electrical fault due to heat?
