When the problem occurs, have a helper crank it, while you visually check for spark at the spark plugs. If you have spark everywhere, use a gage and check fuel pressure. You have to test when problem is ongoing. My first thought was the crank sensor, but could be other issues?

How long since a tune-up?

Just to add, you can carry a spark tester in your glove box, it won't get hot. Don't pull a spark plug.
