Hi slogue,
I scanned through the Mazda Technical Service Bulletins and there is one article on a frozen main relay. It seems mpisture can enter the relay and intermittently causes the relay to fail resulting in engine stopping.
As the symptoms described seems a likely relay fault, I would suggest replacing it. It is recommended to replace and relocate the main relay and fuel pump relay with the modified kit for 2003 to 2005 models.
