I've been told it could be a temperature sensor, fuel pump, fuel filters, the computer? I don't know where to begin.

    i don't believe any of the above, with the info supplied it sounds like the starter is binding up when it gets hot

    ive had the same problem with my 1966 ford f100 what happens is the starter gets too hot while driving and fries the motor so try to replace the starter then if it still does it check the ignition system becuase sometimes if the ignition box gets too hot the wires will acculy fry and break apart so when its hot and expands its not touching that much
