Stalled? or just died. I would check for air-car-itis. Failure of the connection at the firewall.

Joe;

Wayne's question was whether the engine stalled as if the engine was'nt getting any fuel, or if there was a loss of electrical power to the engine harness. The front harness connector at the fuse box, on the engine side of the firewall (under the master cylinder) can become loose, causing this symptom. When this happens, you can open your door and see if you have courtesy lights at the kick panel. If not wiggle the connector and you should get the power back. You may need to repair the connection to get it to stay, or "adjust" the pins so they will make contact.

If this isn't it it's most likely fuel related, possibly a fuel delivery problem.

Or maybe the ballast resistor is intermittent and restarts easily because it gets bypassed when you crank the starter?

I'd check ballast resistor & connections.

Did it just stall once and restart with no further issues ?? If it was a one time deal, it is probably nothing to worry about. Now, if it continues to die and restart, we need to dig deeper.

Good point.
