The noise is a good thing, just check that it is still there when it wont start?
Also check for a spark at the spark plugs, just after it has stopped
And get the fault codes read, it will point you in the right direction.
I think the coolant temperature sensor (4 wire type over the bell housing) give a bit of trouble, though the engine should start up again. Dirty IAC (idle air control) valve needs a clean?
This is a bit older than your one

are you saying that when the car gets hot and it either cuts out or you stop the engine that it wont start for 20 minutes?
If so id definatly start by changing either the crankshaft sensor or the coolant temperature sensor
