Try the coil! My brother's 9C1 Caprice was doing that same thing. We replaced the coil and it went away. Just a thought. Don't know whats up with your keyless entry....Good Luck
Re: eng just dies and wont start back up
IMO it's your fuel pump.
Easiest way to do this is to have a fuel pressure gauge handy. The next time your car does not start slap the pressure gauge on the shrader valve. Turn the key to "on" and see if you have any fuel pressure, should be in the low 40's. If you don't have any pressure you're either not getting any power to the pump (possibly bad relay) or your pump is dying on you, I think it's the latter, because what your describing is exactly what my car went through.
You can usually rent a FP gauge for free at a local parts store.

Eliminating the fuel aspect is quicker than chasing after an electrical ghost.
Your choice clearly.
