Random engine shutdown.

Random engine shutdown.
I'm driving to Taco Bell, and 2 blocks away from home, I come around a turn, then all of the sudden my engine shuts off. No odd noises or anything, just happens as if I had turned the key off. All electrical was functioning properly, stereo kept playing, lights stayed on, but no engine.
I put it into neutral, tried cranking it while rolling, nothing. Tried again. Nothing.
Pulled into a lot (i <3 momentum), Get out, open the hood to see if battery is disconnected....Nothing looks out of place from my 2 minute overview. Get back in the car, crank it again, it cranks.....sputter real quick like it had been flooded, and fires up.
Anyone have any clue what this could have been? It drove perfectly fine for the rest of the trip.
Im guessing the sputtering upon starting was from the fuel pump running after the engine had stopped.... Possibly a problem with spark?

I had the exact same problem just last week. it happened after I took a 300 mile trip from boston to new york. thank god it didn't happen on the highway. I got the fuel pump replaced...by the dealer!...so far my car hasn't crapped up on me yet...so I guess that has to be the problem.
