Bad fuel pump, bad relay, bad crank sensor, bad ignition module. Being a 13 year old car it could be anything. To start with you need to check for codes the same day this happens.

1994 Chevy Blazer problems. Car starts and runs for a bit. Dies later and won't restart. Next day it will start and dies later. Have changed EGR, O2 Sensor, Fuel Pump three times, fuel filter. No luck....

Have you checked the battery after it died. I would check and see if the alternator is putting anything out. If its not, then i would look into the pink and brown ignition wire that runs the alternator and gauges and such. If any problems with this wire those very things happen. Hope this helps.
