Any idea what can cause my car to stall?

Does any one have any idea what can cause my car to stall? When it is hot out and the car runs for 30mins it will start to run really rough then stall, When I try to restart it it'll run for 5 sec then die agian. After the car cools down for about 30 min it will run fine again for a bit. I am thinking it may be the ignition control module but not sure. How do I check it? I don't want to replace it if I can check it first. The motor is a 2.3 dual electronis ignition 4 cyl. Please help.

Is that the 2.3 with the distributor or the DIS? If it has the dist. I would suggest you check the ign module like you mentioned. They have a tendency to cause hot stalling when they are on the way out.

Try looking for a vacuum leak . ..

Got any fuel lines running close to the engine? VAPOR LOCK-ouch. This is a cheap and easy check.
