Default my motor shuts off while driving

I have an ls swap in my 98 hatch and it recently its been shuting off while im driving. It will restart after a few tries and run fine and then randomly shut off again anyware from minutes to days later. Has anyone had this problem or have any idea what would cause it?

check your ignition switch... the wires inside may be loose you may have to resolder them... im having the sme prob in my 98 sedan... sometimes my starter stays on even when i pull the key out lol.... my mechanic told me this happens to hondas but yeah check your ignition switch

when you say shut off does it just dies at a stop light or does it sputter a bit first? it may be possible its fuel related,(filter, pump,etc.)
