Next time it dies out immediately check for spark and fuel then comeback and tell me what's missing.

I had the same issue with my car. Turned out it was air in the radiator system and the car had to be "burped".
There was a hole in the radiator that kept letting air into it. I repaired the radiator, let it run for a while with the radiator cap off until no more air bubbled out and never had that problem again. Good luck
