Mine did this, found out that it was low on petrol, even though the gauge wasn't empty, because it was on a hill it kept dying on me. I put me some petrol in just incase and everything was good. Don't really know why it did it because there was just under quarter of a tank left... still don't know if thats anything like yours?
