Car shuts down completely while driving!

Hello-
I have a 1996 900S and recently it started to shut down while driving. Without any warning, all the dash graphics---warning symbols, oil, temp, brake, etc. light up and the car stalls out completely, like it's getting no fuel. It reverts to the state it's in if you were to turn the ignition key almost all the way without starting the car. Sometimes, when I see the dash lilghts come on, if I quickly shift into neutral and give it a nice surge of gas, it will not stall out and continue running, though I think the "Test Brake Lights" message appears. Also, if it does shut down and I put it in park, it will start right up again. Yesterday this happened and after starting the second time, it immediately stalled again, then ran fine the rest of the day.
I have tried to search the archives prior to posting, but I didn't see a whole lot out there as far as any remedy though I did see some similar posts. I'm afraid to drive this thing around much, especially in the dark where my car suddenly "dissapears" with no lights or power. Scary.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
