Default Emergency!!!!!!! 2003 s-type 4.2l just shuts off while im driving. Resolved

I'm driving down the street rite now and my car just shut off. All the all the power is there, but the battery and oil light came on. It did this on the maiden voyage yesterday after putting the intake manifold together. I turns over just fine but acts like it isn't getting fuel. When it turns off it doesn't spudder out. HELP!!!!

It only seems to do this when its hot. If I turn the car off and wait a little bit it will start again.

Maybe a sudden air leak. Or sudden loss of power to something critical. Usually the problem is due to work just carried out.
