      2004 Chevy Aveo stalls while driving, but will restart a few minutes later

      Hello everyone! I am new here, and I hope you guys can lend me a hand.

      I am a Jeep guy, can tear them down and build them up, all day and night. These little chevys are pretty new to me. We have a 2004 Chevy Aveo, bone stock. 126,000 miles. It has all the usual issues that all the other Aveo's I see around have. rusty door bottoms, worn out struts, etc... All in all, its been a great vehicle, no major complaints. I have kept up on the timing belt maintenance, so all should be good on that front. I am now tackling the other issues it has developed over the last few years.

      On the way home yesterday I was cruising down I-75 at 70 mph enjoying the nice sunshine and all of a sudden the engine just quit. Didn't stumble, didn't sputter to a stop, just went from on to off, right now. I coasted over to the side of the highway, tried to start it again, just cranked and cranked. I popped the hood, checked for anything obvious, didn't see much. I checked all the electrical connections in the immediate area didnt see anything. I got back in, tried to start it up, cranked right up like normal, drove it the remaining 20 miles home at 70 mph. I got up this morning had to move it around in the driveway, no big deal, started right up. Started right up, drove it all the way in to work today. I got in it to come home this afternoon. Cranked right up, jumped on the highway, got it up to 70 mph and within 1/2 mile of where it happened yesterday the exact same thing happened! I coasted over to the side. Parked it, went through the same routine as yesterday, it started back up a few minutes later, drove it home and here it sits. It didn't throw a CEL. I cchecked for stored and pending codes. Nothing.

      Has anyone had a similar experience? I have a feeling its of electrical nature due to its on to off with no stutter or stumble. I have had jeeps that when the Crankshaft sensor goes bad, will sort of act like this. Not sure if these are similar or not. Any input would be great, it is my commuter so I would like to get it back on the road ASAP. I tried googling it but all the articles you find range from them telling you the windshield wiper reservoir is low on fluid to having to replace the engine. I hope you guys have some input. I know this is a pretty generic symptom and can be a whole can of worms, I was just wondering if there is something that is a common issue with these cars with these symptoms. Thanks! Nice to be here.
