you may have a dirty throttle body you can get a can of throttle body cleaner and spray it in your throttle body and then start it and it should do the trick if that's what it is a lot of times when your throttle body is dirty the Carl just cut off for no reason even while you're driving

Also check for a dirty air filter add some fuel injector cleaner to gas tank and change fuel filter if have not done so in awhile.
