Do you know how it's dying... like is it losing fuel or what? Does it throw any codes?

Checked grounds. when im driving i can feel the engine lose power, i give it more gas, but all i get is the sound of the intake, but the engine just keeps decelerating until it gets to 0rpm, then i have to restart it. but it starts right back up usually. i just need some advice on what else i could check. or maybe someone else has had this problem before. its really frustrating. thanks for the replies guys
