The car turns off out of nowhere, then it will only start back up after it has sat for about an hour. Then it starts and the same problem repeats. I need help!

When it stalls can you hear the fuel pump running in the tank? If so, then I would run the codes and if none comes up replace the crankshaft angle sensor.

Here is a guide and the location of the sensor in the images below:
