could also be the ignitor module int he distributor
could be the main relay as well.
Even could be a battery cable coming loose over bumps

With the car running, try jiggling the key around and twisting it just a little both ways to see if it makes it shut down.

Sounds like the fuel pump to me or a clogging fuel filter. Does it slowly sputter out or just die all at once?
