Did you check your codes? That will probably point you in the right direction. Mine has done the same thing on several occasions,has always been an electrical problem. Check battery cables first for corosion then the various ground connections.The last time it was due to low voltage, which was caused by[1] programming back to stock to take in for column lock recall[2] dealer did reflash my pcm. when I got home[3] I put my hypertech program back in,went to start it and take it for a spin, three times it started ran for afew seconds and died, then I got the low voltage warning on the dic, charged up the battery and everything has been fine since...
