    Sounds like a problem with fuel... Does the car cough and stutter when it dies while driving?

    Have you replaced the fuel pressure reg before on it? I had a similar issue with my VR but it did end up starting, just with a big puff of rich fumes

    Check error codes. Sound like a failing CAS to me.

    Sounds like your ignition module (silver box on passenger side strut tower) might be getting ready to fail. Easy to replace. Used and reconditioned modules are available on eBay and places like Repco etc. have reconditioned modules. Other people have suggested that next time this happens you can try turning the engine off and then pour water over the ignition module before turning it on again. If it's the ignition module being heat affected it should start straight away without you having to wait 15 mins. However, I haven't tried this myself.
