This is only after it warms up I guess.

Does the 3FE have a cooling fan for the manifolds?
Yeah, it does (or should)...it is DS near the fuse block.
Sounds more like the EFI is getting hot but not popping. I don't think it is locking up or anything but I guess that is possible.
These symptoms happened to me before I lost a relay until I upgraded the EFI wiring in my old 80.

The symptoms could be associated with that fan not working. You park the truck, heat is transfered to the intake from the exhaust and then the truck runs like crap until cooled by the intake.
Once the truck has fully warmed up that fan should always run after shutting it off. The switch for it is mounted to the exhaust manifold. I could always here the fan when I got out of my FJ60, you should be able too also.
