could be alternator - was told when mine was replaced that it was creating surges which were causing the car to shut off.

happened to me a few times in the 01 Grey Focus, happened a few times it was the ground point beside the battery on the fender side. Then again just befmore I melted my engine wiring harness, and that was a maf harness that shorted out on the EGR tube.
