Under what condition does it turn off, while cruising, slowing down or stopped?
Are you able to restart engine?
What is the idling speed?
Is the Malfunction Indicator Light showing and have you checked for trouble codes?

When it could not be started, you would need to check what is missing. That would give a clue what could be wrong. It can be fuel or igniton sparks related.
