Crankshaft position sensors and camshaft position sensors commonly fail by becoming heat-sensitive and will work again when they cool down. Next time the engine stalls, check for spark. If it's missing, have the diagnostic fault codes read at an auto parts store. Many do that for you for free. There might be a code indicating which sensor failed.
