After the car stopped it fired back up with no problem when I tried to start it. As soon as I put it in gear it died again. This time when I tried to start it, it would hit off immediatly then die. Finally it fired off again and made the 10 minute drive home without problem. Any ideas what this would be? Maybe a short in the wiring?

It would cut out at almost anytime anywhere and I could start it up again in anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes. It was scarry when it happend. As soon as I changed the box it never happened again. Here is another post that someone had on the same subject. Tough One post
