This happened to my 95 Royale while driving around town. I checked the battery terminals and one was slightly loose. After tightening it, no more dying.

Fix your car right away by clicking the link I attached 2000 2005 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF JETTA GTI CAR REPAIR or WORKSHOP SERVICE MANUAL

try changing fuel filter as it may be clogged. the time you are waiting may allow deposits to settle back in line.

This sounds like a bad connection, the problem is where, i have seen the wiring harness that goes over the transmission rub into wiring and cause engine to shut down and then restart again and run until the right movement is made to shut down again.

Try starting the car and do the wiggle test, start grabing wiring and moving around and see if engine dies out.

do the basics. spark test, fuel pressure and injector signal. i got my money on the fuel pump

DOES YOUR CAR STALL OR DIE AT A COMPLETE STOP? SPUTTER FOR A SECOND OR TWO WHILE DRIVING, RPM GAGE PEG OUT THEN ENGINE SHUTS DOWN? YOU HAVE ANY MORE SYMTOMS?

It cannot be the VATS system. The TDM, that is the core of the VATS system, is engaged only at the time you start your car. I have a problem exactly like yours on my 95 LeSabre and just discovered it is the alternator that sometimes charges and sometimes doesn't and when it doesn't, the battery's voltage goes lower than a certain threshold and the computer (PCM) is unable to work anymore and shuts down the engine. Took me months to discover this!

did you get your radiadator checked?

try changing the coil- sometimes they get hot and break down- once they cool off vehicle will start and run until they get hot again
