Default 1993 lx randomly shuts off while driving help please

About two weeks ago i put a cold air intake on my 2.3l 93 lx. it seemed to work fine and i noticed an improvment in power and milage.
a few days after i did this i was driving down the road and my car engine just shut off. the electrical system was still on. after i came to a stop i tried to start it back up and it started right up wihtout a problem. this has happended to me about 5 times in the past three weeks and i was wondering if anyone could tell me what is could be causing this. is it from something that i did with the cold air intake?
any help is apriciated
thanks
Ryan

This used to happen to me also, it was a wire that was messed up. It was some wire having to do with the alternater. It was located under the starter solenoid after i replaced the whole in line fuse setup (not just the fuse) the problem went away. The weird thing was that they fuse didn't actually break so it would start up again like you said.
