Does the engine just die or does it stumble like it is running out of fuel.

If fuel, if the mechanical fuel pump is still in and fuel still flows thru it, what is the condition of the screen inside the bottom cover and sump. If that is not a possibility, how is the vent in the gas cap. Another remote possibility some have experienced is debris in the tank moving around and blocking the fuel intake. When engine quits it floats away. With an electric pump, probably not as likely unless the electric pump also stops long enough to break the suction.

If it just quits suddenly, many have had issues with coils overheating and quitting. After current stops and they sit and cool for a few minutes, all is well again. Same could happen if capacitor is acting up when hot.
