hi i heard a story a while ago about something like your problem and it might be worth a look.

these lads where driving back north in the uk one night when all of a sudden the engine shuts down and left them stranded,
after lifting the bonnet"hood" and checking around and not finding anything they called the rescue service who towed them to some garage.
after a while the mechanic found the problem it was the passenger who kicked the ecu"ecm" and in doing so dislodged one of the connectors which shuts down the engine.

it might be worth checking those connections about 5 blocks on the ecu.

max.........

My 2006 Tin did the same thing. The dealer (Crown Dodge in Ventura Ca 805 656 6669 ) spent 6 hours and found the problem. Under the drivers seat when you open the plastic door you see the fuse box. There is 2 small box shaped things in the fuse box. On the back of the one on the left the wires were loose. He found it when he jiggled the boxes while hooked up the code reader. They have something to do with the fuel system. So far no problems.
