You could have a cracked coil (even though it is new) that works fine when cold, but expands with heat and shorts out. You say you have a new coil, was it replaced before the problem occurred or after?

Is there spark after it's warmed up? If you have spark fuel and air, it should at least sputter or cough when turned over.

Once it has gone dead, have you tried using starting fluid to eliminate any possibilty of fuel problems?
