Its not a fuel pump, your cat, your MAS, or your computer.

Bad pump = no start
bad cat = rough running, smelly, chokes it self out, poor flow, hesitation
bad MAF = check engine light
bad computer = dead car

I'd bet its your ignition module. Very common problem. They overheat and the car just shuts off like a switch. Usually you wait a few minutes to let it cool and it starts back up. very easy and cheap fix. Its under the dist. cap. take off the cap, pop off the rotor button and its right there. unscrew/unplug it and replace it. don't forget the heat gel. easy job.
