I’d start with what you’ve recently done to the vehicle, wiring wise and connections. Another case of guessing from a distance. Good luck though.

A temporary blockage in the fuel supply would more likely manifest as coughing and spluttering before dying. A sudden stoppage like the OP reports suggests an electrical fault, but temporary so could be a poor connection - or a substandard/damaged/failing component of the ignition system.
See if it happens again.....
