I have had a mechanic looks at issue and replace my distributor but it was not the right solution, car cut off again the next day in traffic, did it three days prior but it cut back on after 10 minutes but would not this time, was towed and car turned on again after tow 30 minutes later.
Indicates problem ignition switch, bad ground for the battery
You did not mention make and model but if GM product they have a 12 year ongoing recall for ignition switches

either needs a new ignition relay or the wireing harness was not properly reconnected when the transmition was installed

Hi, I have the same problem on a 2003 PT Cruiser... I am still trying to figure it out what is the problem. I changed the Starter, because it was previously working bad, but it was not all the problem.
SOURCE: 01 Sebring convertible, AC was low on refrigerant,
First of all if your system was low on refrigerant there is a leak.You can recharge and exspect the air to work,how long it will last depends on the size of the leak.Somtimes the refrigerant can have a leak prevenative but this is for very small leaks.You need to have dye put in to system and use black light to find leak.they make kits at your local auto parts store that you can buy and do this your self.If you say it worked well for about 20 days, that is a fairly large leak.The reason why the compressor is acting so erractic is because the freon has oil in it and lubracates the bearings in compressor.When the system goes low the compressor will turn on and off to protect itself.Eventually it will stop running completly.Idont think you have an electrical problem,Ithink you have a big leak.Try what I said and good luck....Brian
SOURCE: car will start and cut right off
When it won't start you will need to check for spark and fuel pressure to figure out if you are dealing with the ignition system or fuel system.
Is the check engine light on when the engine is running ?

Auto Zone does not test the alternator under full load so the test result could be borderline.
start the car and turn everything on. If the voltage drops lower than 14.2
replace the alternator.
also the battery could be being drained overnight. to check use a test light by removing a battery terminal and connecting light between battery and cable with car off.
if it lights start be removing fuses.
when the light goes off the problem is with this circuit.
lastly if the light stays on take the wires off the alternator.
if the light goes out replace alternator.
