Default South African trailblazer not starting when hot

I own a 2013 2.8ltz diesel trailblazer. I cannot seem to find any information about this vehicle anywhere online. It all points to the older models in the USA. My car has all of a sudden decided not to start when it is hot. I suspect the temperature sensor but have no idea where it is located. Any assistance would be appreciated. I have taken it to mechanics who had no cooking clue about the problem. One even said it was my key. Car starts perfect when it’s a cold start.

Default Update on my problems

so the car started this morning. Went 2 blocks to the shops and turned off. Parked in the suns for about 2hours and wouldn’t start. Left it there for about 5 hrs till it got dark and cooler and still nothing. Engine block is not even hot at all. I have no clue what it could be.

Another update. A new mechanic I took it too suspects the fuel rail pressure sensor. So I have purchased a replacement part for that. Finger crossed that is the problem. Will up date again. Perhaps this might help someone else
