I had almost exactly the same symptoms with my 996. It turned out in my case (after replacing the fuel pump without any improvement) to be the crank position sensor.

The car would run fine for a little while (around 15 minutes) and it then would simply cut and roll to a stop. It would then not start until it cooled a little and then it would go again for a couple of minutes until it did it again. There were no codes recorded in the OBD, which is why we first replaced the fuel pump. It has since been running fine after the sensor was replaced about a month ago. I'd bet that this is actually your problem.
