What would cause my car to shut off while driving?
A broken fuel pump or fuel filter can cause your car to shut off while driving due to the incorrect amount of gas going into the engine, with it not being enough to run the car properly. This is a common occurrence that most people have experienced at least once in their lifetime.

I would say check your camshaft or crankshaft angle/position sensors.
