Check 1st any code Shows up .. # 2nd Wait at least 1 hour to cool down engine then start engine again and shift gear position to D . if car start running or feel transmission engaged. Ready to going forward after release Brake pedal , That means transmission solenoid is bad . It was locked out when engine become Hot. Once engine cool down start working and it will Die again within few mins. Or after Short time Driving . Suggestion replace transmission Solenoids.
