I had a Mazda RX-4 which did the same thing - stall unpredictably and
restart only after letting it sit for a while.  The problem was
eventually - *damn* eventually, if you know what I mean - traced to
a defective part in the evaporative emission control stuff which was
causing fuel starvation.  (After sitting for a few minutes the vacuum
that was causing the problem disappeared, and it would restart.)
