Hi,

When this happens, does it feel like the key is turned off, or do you feel a loss of power as if it's running out of fuel?

Interestingly, since there is no code, which leads me to think the crankshaft position sensor could be faulty. When these sensors begin to fail, heat adversely affects them. The internal coil in the sensor expands and loses contact allowing the engine to stall. Also, based on design, it may or may not set a code.

Take a look through this link and let me know if you feel it mirrors what you experience:

Let me know.
