I have seen this happen on a couple of different cars for several different reasons. On a friends 84 turbo the car would be driving along and then for no apparent reason cut out. Sometimes it would resart sometimes it would if you waited. On her car it turned out to be a short/open in one of the wires of the harness from the distributor. I have seen this happen on the 16vs as well. basicly the car hits a bump and the wire bends just rite and you lose signal. hmmmmm oh, wait, your car is a 92, so you wont have a harness going to your distributor.
Well I worked on a car similiar to your last summer that would just die on the owner, we never figured out what was wrong. But we did find that there plugs were cheap AC delco plugs very incorrectly gapped. They had old cracked plug wires, and a bad cap and rotor. These may not have been causing the dying problem but they werent helping. I cant remember if we replaced them or if the owner didnt want to.
The areas I can think of to check would be your crank position sensor, your ezk box, all your grounds, fuses etc. Also just wiggling the electrical harness when the car is running might point you to a problem if the car dies after wiggling a harness. Sometimes the little connectors back out of the plugs on the harness so you get no, or only partial contact.

hope this helps, sorry for the jumbled thought process
