Why confused? When the CPS goes, it's heat sensitive. That's why everyone is telling you it sounds like a bad CPS.

Yes, as the engine gets hot, the internal windings inside the crank sensor go "open" due to heat expansion.

It's bolted outside the flywheet, near where the engine and transmission mate.

The torx retaining bolt can be tough to get to without the right extension.
I don't know if it throws a code. Normally, hot stalling with inability to restart until the engine cools is all the diagnosis one needs.
