The problem sounds like the EFI main relay shutting down. As I remember it's located in that area up under the right side of the dash. It will be marked EFI main relay, take things apart and look. Sometimes it's called the circuit opening relay. Good luck

Suggested Repair

Inspect and test the EFI main relay, also called the circuit opening relay, under the right side of the dash near the passenger floor. A click from that area just before the engine shuts off suggests the relay is dropping out.
