I would check the fuel pump relay and fuel pump itself.

...and the caps-lock key, but I doubt that's related to the car problems. :)

There's a relay - a big switch - that turns the electric fuel pump ON and OFF. If the relay opens the fuel pump stops and the motor stops, period. Your car's fuel pump relay is suspect - due to these very symptoms and its age - they get tired.
That a professional repair shop would be mystified by this problem is unbelievable, we see this here weekly! They're trying to pick your pocket, IMHO, and my compliments to you for resisting saying "fix it" - regardless of cost.
The relay isn't cheap but can be bought on-line from various parts suppliers. It just plugs in.
