You can go to most parts stores like autozone and rent the scan tool to read the code or codes that will tell you why vehicle keeps shutting off.

Check for a blown ( ETCS ) Electronic Throttle Control System fuse. Check owners manual for location of fuse in fuse box . If no owners manual go online and type in owners manual for year, make and model of vehicle will take you to sites for manuals for your vehicle.
