also when this happens it acts like it runs outa fuel because it does. His case says its like someone switched the key off so id start looking for spark.

SO yes when it does die see if you have spark via pullign the main wire from the distributor housing and rest it about 1/4" away from a head nut. Should have a nice bright blue spark.
