It could be a number of things, and with there being no check engine light, it becomes a guessing game. When it dies, are you still getting spark and fuel to the engine?

Try a little test for me. See if the engine will start with starting fluid. If it starts for a couple seconds, then fuel is the issue. You may have proper fuel pressure at the rail, but the injectors may not be getting power.

Let me know what you find.
