Oh brother, that can sure take the fun out of a nice drive. Tough to arm chair quarter back. Are you smelling gas when she dies like that? I would make sure I have spark after she dies, I remember a post from awhile back that may have had a similar issue, I think it turned out to be something with his distributor or coil. Was it Orangevol?

I would just go back to all the basic stuff, spark, fuel pump (are you getting gas) etc. and go from there. Good Luck.
