+ 1 for checking the dme relay. You need a buddy to listen down the filler neck hole, or have his head right near the lower portion of the gas tank to hear the fuel pump. The fuel pump only operates when the engine is cranking or running, so it is helpful to have someone nearby to listen while you crank. Also, carry around a spare spark plug, and the next time the car quits, jump out, pull one plug wire, put the spare plug in the removed wire, and verify if you have spark while the car is not running. Once you have verified which system is not working, it makes the diagnosis a lot easier. It may also be crank/ref sensor related , although I believe the S model is different from an 8v, and only has one of the two senors.
