Dodgy regulator perhaps. Could be a loose connection to or a dirty air flow meter.

Remove your gas cap and see if it runs any better, if it does, replace that sombitch.

Yup, mine was bad reciently. Car would run for a bit, then die, then start up 5 min later. It could also be the fuel pressure regulator too.
