When the problem occurs, have a helper crank it, while you visually check for spark at the plugs. If that checks out, use a gage and check fuel pressure. Don't let gas spray all over a hot engine. Safety is your responsibility. Any applicable trouble codes? As far as checking spark, you can carry a known good plug or spark tester in the glove box, it won't get hot.
