Did the Tach and Radio die before the engine? as that is also a sign of an electrical issue.
One last thing my daughter was driving my Cabby, and complained that the car Turned off as she was rounding a corner, and it did it 3 times.
Her Ignition Key was on a fob that weighed about 300 pounds, I exaggerate a wee bit on the weight, but I got in the car and let her drive it. and sure enough in a Turn her fob would pendulate and turn the switch off, then back on…
I took my key out and let her drive it with my key in the ignition and it never happened… I only have a ignition and a House key on mine, not an assortment of Pot Metal Droids, Chewbacha, and other assorted things.

I reckon Briano is on the right trail with it being a fuel issue though . . .how much fuel was in it when this was happening?
Brim it and see if there is any difference.
Check earths, battery connections, ignition switch etc.
If you're parked nose down a steep hill does it cut out?
Do a bit of troubleshooting!

A DX has no in tank pump so forget about that
Errrr yes it does, later fuel injection cabriolets with a space saver wheel and bigger fuel tank have a fuel lift pump in the tank and a main fuel pump underneath the car.

With no working lift pump you will also find the engine will "bog down" when you floor it.

This will make the fuel pump run as soon as you switch the ignition on then you can see if it will start.
I could also be an electrical problem, when was the dissy cap, HT leads and rotor arm last changed?

Dissy caps seem hard to find a good make at a good price, I've been using one of these and it been fine for the last year and 10,000 miles as the new Beru dissy cap was faulty new out of the box as my car would cut out and not start.

I stand corrected…..I'm only used to tin tops.
