Maybe try using the spare key if you have one...I've heard that the chip in the key wears over time causing ignition to shut off.

Mass Airflow Sensor. If it only dies after its warm that is most likely the cause. Tap it with the back of screwdriver while its running lightly if it shudders or changes RPM its the cause.
