many possible causes. sounds all too much like a crank sensor failing. when it dies, does it act like you shut key off, (instant stall)? or does it sputter and cough, then stall out? seen this same situation and problem many times in my shop and a cranksensor fail can be hard to catch when it fails. most likely cause.
A little shot of quick start, or WD-40 in to the throttle body intake when it won't start, will at least let you know if lack of fuel or spark is your culprit. If it fires up for a second or so after a spray, then it's fuel delivery related. Helps mechanic narrow down area of trouble.
Most common causes of your problem are either partial fuel pump or crank position sensor failure. If when you turn the key on right after it dies, you can hear the pump in the tank running, then I'd test the crank sensor (if good check the cam sensor). Problems with wiring harness, poor grounding bad ignition switch can also give similar symptoms but also need testing to verify. (parts may test good unless it's in no-start when tested) Sometimes a code scan will help, so begin there. (many larger parts stores test free) Do not replace anything before it's tested or you can spend far more $ than if you had just brought it to a shop and had them do the repair. (something you are likely trying to avoid) Any specific questions you have about test results etc, just ask!!
