Have you done any diagnostics other that waiting for the car to start?

Get a spark tester (or use a screwdriver carefully) and see if there is a
spark when the car dies.  Failure of the electonic ignition when hot is the
first sign of a total failure.

If there is spark, check to see if you are getting gas.  If the venting system
is partially plugged, a vaccuum occurs in the fuel sustem and the pump can't
overcome it.  Or you may have vapor lock.

Good luck.\
