You don't say if it acts like it is running out of fuel, or if it starts back up after sputtering and dies;does it seem like it does it when the weather is warm, cold or when there is lots of moisture in the air? Could be that the fuel is running back down the fuel line and starving the engine. If you can be alittle more specific, might be able to help.

Sounds like fuel injectors or fuel pump going south. Keep us posted!

Does the service engine light come on. Have you checked for any codes. How does it run if you drive it for an hour. Do you have a fuel pressure guage.
