check your battery connections on the terminals. if you are having a bad ground or power, it could be at fault.
later

check for fuel and spark when it happens.

also, when it dies out, and wont restart, just put the key to the acc point, do you get a quick flash fromt he CEL? the CEL should pop on for a second when all ur other dash lights come on, as part of a test procedure.

If you get no fuel AND no spark, but u still get the quick test CEL, its the ASE relay.

If you get no fuel, no spark, and NO test CEL - its the computer (mines being replaced right now actually....again)

If you get fuel but no spark or vice versa, that will also narrow it down.

OR it's just the battery or lack of connection to it.
