Mine did this a few years ago. While driving down the road it would suddenly die, I would have to quickly put it into neutral and fire it back up. It didn't do it all the time, but would really make me mad, just going down the road and all of a sudden it would just shut off like I turned the key off.

Mine was the crank shaft sensor

Hope this helps
