I have a 2002 Land Cruiser I took it on a trip about 4 away and I make it there perfectly fine. On my way back I was pulling up to a red light and my car just turned off and would turn over or start again. I was wondering if anyone would have an idea on what it wrong with it.
 
battery voltage?
any lights on dash?
does it do anything when turning the key?
is it in park?
 
Check under the seats for hex bags
 
First, look at center console security light w/key in IG SW.
Second, check battery & alternator connection.
Third read codes.

I just saw two this week, where engine just shut down while driving.
Was not bad battery.
Was not a loose battery connection. Very common just after battery replaced.
Was not bad alternator, or wire lug or plug
Was not bad fuel pump.
Was not fuel cut-off switch tripped.
Was not crank sensor wire cut (improper routing) while rubbing on fan belt.

Vehicle 1 98LC) Immobilizer. Noted by security light flashing, with key in IG. EFI fuse prongs looked a bit burnt. Replaced fuse, started. Will need new fuse box or EFI jumper.

Vehicle 2 98LC) MAF. Found DTC, with code reader for both MAF and Immobilizer. Tapped on MAF engine shut down (repeatable). Replaced MAF (OEM), no issues since. Watching immobilizer for further issues!
