I was driving about 15 minutes I made a turn was starting to pick up speed and when I got to 40 mph my car suddenly turned off. I had gas in it when I would try to start it up again it would turn on but it wouldn't last long and turned off again.

I need you to check fuel pump pressure first. It sounds like the pump may have gone bad.

Do that and let me know what you find.
