No Fries ha ha. Car didn't sputter it just cut off like you turned the key to the off position. Kinda sounds like the ignition switch, but that has been replaced?

Garage
I have a thought - I'm hungry

Fuel pump relay?
- - For me it would shut the motor off. Crank but no start. 5-10 mins later it would start run fine for a couple miles and shut off. Repeat

Beginning of Crank position sensor failure?
