Sounds like a problem I had with a '88 Beretta I owned (same engine and setup I belive). It would run for days, then all of sudden would die in the middle of driving. Then it would not restart. Come back a couple hours later and it would start up again. Run for days and then do it's thing again.

Long story short, it was the drive control section of the ECM was bad, and every so often it would freak out. I replaced the ECM, and the problem went away. Now that being said, yours could be the ECM, or a a bad/sticking injector.

Those kind of problem can be hard to locate when they are computer related, and the only way to check for sure is to plug it into the dealer (or another shop so equipted) computer diagnostic equiptment.
