randomly cutting off then starting no warning

1995 civic dx 1.5 that is running great until the other day my dad was driving it and it cut off and it was a little low on gas so he thought it was out i put a gallon in then it started up, day or so later im driving it about 40mph and it just cuts off so i coast into a spot put it in park and try to start it and it starts... we went on a 2 hr round trip after this and it didnt happen once, then im driving today and it does it again im at a loss at where to start looking because other than the cutting off it runs great. has relatively new spark plugs and wires. if you guys can help at all id appreciate it. and sometimes when it cuts of it doesnt start right away so i let of the key turning it off then on again and it usually starts first or second try. also it always starts great when its cold and warm itll just be idling in traffic or going down the hwy and bam its dead, doesnt matter the rpm you can be turning 3k or idle it will die just the same.... thanks in advance
