2004 ranger edge dies while driving

Asking for advice please. My 2004 ranger edge (4.0) started dying while going down the road. Just quits. After coasting to a stop by the road. It seems like it won't start. After trying 2 or 3 minutes it fires up. It runs rough for a bit then after a few more miles down the road it happens again. Each time it takes a few minutes to start back. Done this about 6 times on the way home yesterday. Seems like something overheating to me. I'm going to change the fuel filter first but to me it really seems electrical? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
