Default Mazda 323F 1.5i 1998 engine fails while driving

Hello Everyone

I am very happy with my mazda but now i have a problem with it

When I am driving slow(mountain or city) .. after 30-60 mins.. the engine fails
... temp is a bit below half .. and the engine isn't hotter then usual(water doesnt boil or anything)...

here is exactly how it happens:
i am driving at 2000-3000 RPM at low speed - 50km/h for some time
then the engine acts as if there is no fuel or spark... it starts to choke and it fails completely after a second or 2...
i have to wait for 15 mins or so... before i can start it up again

like i said ... i am 100% sure that the engine temp is normal

help please

Your problem sounds like crank angle sensor when they get hot they fail and when the cool down they work again it will eventually fail alltogether.
