My dads car (97civic) had a problem like that. He could drive maybe 10-15 minutes, and then it would just die on him. He'd have to wait a little bit to drive again.....and it would then die again 10-15 minutes later.
Are you getting spark when you crank the motor?
Have someone stick a timing light on it when it "dies" and check if spark goes through.
It ended up being a bad distributor that was put in a couple days before.

How many miles does your car have? Tune-up? change plugs or coil, rotor,etc.. Check alternator even. Its most probably something electrical.
