If this happens at start up or driving they are going to be similar issues.

Here are a couple guides that will help with these issues:

If the engine restarts then I would suggest starting with the fuel pressure. I suspect this is the issue as it is a common issue on these vehicles that the fuel pump gets weak and is able to prime the system just enough to get it to start but it then stalls a second or two later.

Here is a guide to check the pressure:

Please run through this and let us know what you find. I attached the info below to replace the primary pump which is the common issue.

Thanks
