Most of the time a bad "chip" will do that kind of thing. But before you get a new one check all that you can. There is a fuse that is for the injectors and also one for the computer. Start with those and move on from there. My guess is that there was no check engine light. Did you speedo go out also? The more info you can give the better we can help.

Will it start after it cooled down?

ok here is all i can say for now is that it will start after it has cooled down for like 1 imn the it will start go down the road for a little bit then it will die again the check engine light only comes on after it has died my speedo is still workking when the car starts but like i said it will go for about5 miles then it will just die

I would check the resistance on the injectors. They are supposed to read approximately 12ÃŽÂ© If they're much under 10ÃŽÂ© then you'll start to get stalling problems, especially because the resistance will usually tend to get lower as they heat up.

If I remember right even when as few as one injector goes out it will take the others down with it, one bad apple spoils the bunch so to say. Ohm them out... (I cant do the fancy symbol lol) it is a bit difficult when you have to pull the upper intake but its pretty straightforward to do.
