Sounds like it's a heat related problem. When it quits you need to look for spark and fuel. Loss of fuel pressure won't set a code in most cases. But you have no warning when it dies, that leads me to an ignition failure. I suspect the crank or cam sensor to be the cause. Those are the most common sensors that fail and cause the engine to die.

Possibly fuel pump. Had an issue like that on a s10. Would run for a bit then randomly die. Could let it sit for a few minutes and start back up and go. My dad had the same thing on a Silverado. Replaced fuel pumps and never happened again

This would stand to reason if your 02 code is a lean condition.
