Drive only in a straight line.
Has to be a fuel delivery problem. Maybe a loose wire or something. Does it happen when the fuel tank is full of gas or when it is nearing empty? It may be a fuel pickup problem.

Are there any other symptoms? Does it die peacefully or stumble really bad before stalling?

I know that some cars have a switch in the power steering system which either increases the engine idle when the system is under a heavy load or decreases the power assistance so that the load on the pump doesn't cause the engine to stall. I'm not sure of third-gen cars have that switch, but it is something to look into.
