Are all your connections tight? No loose wires anywhere? Also, sometimes if water gets into a dizzy assembly, it can cause it to die off like that.

check the cnnections on the battery and see that they are not corroded and loose. if not check your fuel pressure. if the car looses fuel preesure when warmed up, might cause it to die. just hook up a gauge and let it warm up andsee if the pressure drops

+1 on grounds. Make sure every single one of them is tight and corrosion free.
