    Could be the coil.
    Next time it dies, try a burst of starting fluid to verify spark is lost, not fuel.

    It's very possible the Ignition Control Module (ICM) and coil packs need replacing:

    Ignition Module/Control Unit by ACDelco - Advance Auto Parts

    Ignition Coil by ACDelco - Advance Auto Parts

    ICMs and coil packs should be replaced every 120,000 miles or 10 years, whichever comes first.
