Try the spark control module under the distributor cap. Same thing happened to a friend of mine and that was the issue. Just died on him at an intersection and would not restart. Easy fix. Have it checked at a parts store.

ignition module... if you replace the ignition module, it's recommended that you replace the coil as well...
