Carry a spark plug with you.

When it cuts out and doesen't immediately restart, pull a plug boot and
put it on the plug then lay that on the engine and try starting it, see if
there is spark.

The crank position sensor can sometimes fail to where when it gets hot
it's intermittent. Mine did in my '94. If there's no CPS signal you will
get no spark.
