It has only done this twice but when it does it my RPM'S drop and the accelerator doesn't respond the car doesn't cut off but I pull over and shut it off and a few mins later I start it back up and it's fine. Also it died on me in the parking lot and was almost like it wasn't getting enough fuel when I started it back up.
Pump may be failing. Check fuel pressure at injector rail.
SOURCE: electrical. wont re-start unless cold.
You probably have some corrosion on your battery terminals. Make sure they are clean and connected good and tight.
SOURCE: Engine stalls while driving. Fuel deprivation?
I am having the exact same problem with my VW Touareg @60,000 miles. Two weeks ago and again today it sputters and stalls shortly after starting. I brought it into the shop and they could not reproduce the problem and said it was fine. Also, they had no ideas when I describes the problem. Anyone know what it going on? I am out of warranty.

Check TDC (Top Dead Centre) sensor - ie. crank sensor. Possibly faulty and needs replacement. Could also be a worn out timing belt.
