Bad MAF or O2 should throw out the code but not kill the engine. The
ECM should be able to overcome that so the engine can still run (though
rough or dying). I would still suspect electronic issue.
I had two cars in the 80s that they died at the certain engine temp.
After I got stuck a few times, I could even tell when it was going to
die just by looking at the temp gauge. Once it cooled down (in about 15
minutes), everything was fine. I had to carry my tools to diagnose the
problem on the road! In both instances, the solid state electronic
spark control (not computerized yet) was at fault.
