There are a few things that will cause this so we need to start with this guide that will walk us through the most common things:

Does the engine restart with no issue after it stalls?

What I would suggest starting with is monitoring the fuel pressure when this is acting up.

If the fuel pressure checks out, then we need to move onto actually checking for codes.

You can start with this if you would like to, but I suspect you will find the issue when we monitor the fuel pressure.

Let's start with this info and we can go from there. Thanks
