I more suspect the ignition system is the culprit, especially since it's not really getting hot, just up to operating temp.
Inexpensive places to start, especially if they are all original, are new plugs (NGK), wires (Bougicord if possible), cap and rotor (Bosch) - all available at your local big box auto parts store.
Your car provides less fuel once it's warmed up, so a spark issue could cause the symptoms you are experiencing. Since you say it cranks OK, the battery and charging system are probably good.
I would definately start with spark basics listed above.
