2003 Suzuki Aerio Car is shutting off

Electrical problem
2003 Suzuki Aerio 4 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic 95,000 miles

My susuki is doing some weird things. Last week, my daughter was driving and it just cut off in the street and it wouldn't start up. I towed it to a mechanic and it started up, he drove it, but it keeps cutting off. I am at the second mechanic and he thinks it needs a distributor. Some other dealers I called said that that year car did not come with a distributor but a throttle body (electric) with a air temp sensor on top. But this mechanic says that he is not 100% sure but 75% that is needs a distributor.

What should I do? All of the suzuki mechanics are very far away from where I live and their prices will probably be doubled.
