same thing happened to me. It could either be the ignition coil or the control module

I had distributor pick up problems on mine that just made the car not want to start but with yours - have you checked the fuel filter and fuel pressure at the point that it dies? I had the line on the fuel pump in the tank get a hole and it acted somewhat the same.

Just some suggestions.
