It sounds like you are losing spark. This would cause an abrupt to die out. Common causes for loss of spark would be the crankshaft position sensor and the camshaft position sensor. The crank sensor goes down into the bell-housing and reads off a tone wheel on the flexplate; the cam sensor is in the distributor. Each of these sensors is needed for spark and if one drops out of the engine will die. Hopefully, there will be a code set pointing to one or the other, probably the crank sensor. Sometimes one of these can also short and kill the engine, but it also blanks out the signal of the opposite sensor, and it can't set a code. You may also opt to just replace the crank sensor in that situation and see if that fixes it.
