It's the alternator. Can you hear a whining noise from the alternator? If not, it will soon follow.

its what happens when your voltage is really low....mostly due to the battery dying from not being charged by the alternator....

When i was NA my car used to shut off on me every now and then when i would coast to a stop, never had an alternator issue though. I would push in the clutch and all the lights would light up and it would be off. It never bothered me, just kinda shocking.
