Probably not the issue..but worth looking into. My truck would die and not start back up until about 45 minutes later like nothing ever happened.

Turns out it was the ECT sensor.. (engine coolant temp) right above the thermostat.

Try running a self test an see what codes you get. Codes will point you into a good direction..
