    Alternator, battery, and ignition switch under the steering column would be the obvious stuff to check I guess.

    Faulty alternators cause random issues in our cars. If it hasn't been replaced, I would have it inspected or just swapped. You could just check the voltage of your system with the car on and off. Definetly sounds like an electrical issue though.

    my car would also shut off while driving and i would hear a rapid clicking noise, then I found out my battery tie down came loose and the positive post would hit the strut bar and shut off. Not sure if that has anything to do with it though.
