Could you expound on what it means "it will just die." Does the engine rpm just drop temporarily and then rebound, and if so, at what specific rpm level does this occur. Or does the engine completely turn off?

Might be the Fuel Pump Relay located underneath your airbox. Has 6 wires, 2 are Blue/Red, two are Blue, one is Black/White, and one Green/Red wire. Disconnect this plug and jumper a Blue/Red wire to a Blue wire in the same plug. This will bypass the relay. The relay is designed to boost the voltage to the fuel pump when you get on the accelerator otherwise under steady cruising the voltage does not change.
