Default Random Stalling

im sure i have posted about this before, but want to see if i can get more help. i have a stalling problem that only happens after the engine has reached operating temperature. The problem has been happening for over a month and has gotten worse. After it gets to operating temp it seems like someone hit a switch that turns the truck off like a switch. Before it would take me 10 or so mins to start it back up, but lately it starts back up in a couple minutes. I replaced the distributor cap and ignition coil but that didnt help for to long. i mentioned this to a guy that go to class with who is a master tech and said that i was heat soaking a sensor or somthin (cant really remember what he said), but he had not touched the car so i dont know if thats true and i dont know where to begin. Im goin to take all of the old tape off the splices anf make sure there isnt anything wrong. I had looked at the wires real quick about 2 months ago and there was a wire that looked like it had been "repaired", but the replacement wire was long and was folded underneath the electrical tape. any help would be great

Yes check the spices. If I didn't say it in the previous thread, the Coolant Temp sensor or O2 sensors could be causing the once warm stalling problem.
