Car randomly shutting off....
Hey guys, I have an 06 SS/SC and recently the car has been randomly shutting off. When the car shuts off it kind of feels like it stalled, the dic will flash -40deg, the RPM gauge will fall and the speedo will stay consistent. If I recall, the power steering stays on, however I think one time it went out(yes i have had the recall fixed). One other note is the Wide band will show --- like it does during fuel cutoff.
I am not getting any sort of check engine light and when the car is running there doesn't seem to be any loss in performance. Most of the time I have to turn the key off and turn it back on for it to start back up. This has probably happened 5 times in the last few days. Two of which the car would not start back up. I had to wait about 5 min before the car would fire. It would try to turn over but wouldn't start. Sorta like if I ran out of gas.
So what's the deal guys? Any starting points that I can check. Is it my fuel pump? fuel filter? electrical? is the fuel pump on a relay?
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

check your MAF, mine was a little dirty from changing my airbox and it used to happen to me. cleaned it off and made sure it was tight and never had a problem since.
