No idea. Dirty fuel filter? Do you get spark after car dies? battery in good shape? the computer sends ground to pump relay to turn fuel pump on and off. does car start up right away after it dies?

Check the ground for the fuel pump; insure that it's secure.

The fuel tank gas cap may be defective and not venting properly which might create a vacuum condition in the tank.
