VX shutting off in the middle of driving

I'd vote for the fuel pump. Just a question: how much fuel did you have in tank when engine died? Because of fuel pump is cooled with the fuel if you get lower level (but enough for the continue running) the pump might overheat and stop working. Another problem in the tank might be the dirty first level in tank air filter which might be covered with paraffin. Also, some fuel pumps just normally wears at 150000 miles. You might want not to replace the whole pump assembly but just the pump itself which is significant cheaper (in Russia replacemnt pump cost about $100 while assembly is about $800).

Also when it happens try opening your gas cap. If it make a sound like a can of soda opening you may be experiencing vapor lock. It used to happen to me in the summer months. (I'm guessing that just the engine stops running but the electrical stays functional?)

I had some issues with mine due to a hot-water leak at a clamp and I had a coolant issue; also I undid my MAF once and had to reset the computer to get that to clear up.. You can check your codes at autozone.. dont need to go to a mechanic..just make sure you get the codes and he doesnt clear them out without tellin you what they were..
