Default LS2, engine dies without warning

Last weekend I had issues with the LS2 in our Nova dying without any indication of a problem. Cruising at 70mph and boom nothing, put her into neutral and fired right back up. it happened a few more times last weekend but only at ide. I found no codes to point me in the right direction, the engine is all stock GM and the pump is a 2010 Camaro with about 8,000 miles on it. Until now the car has been a flawless daily driver, this weekend I will crawl around looking for wiring issues but any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I hope you let us know what you find. Mine has done this a few times driving about 70, steady speed and sometimes sitting at extended idle. I changed the dbw throttle body, changed the throttle body plug and still it does it every once in a while. Same as yours, go to neutral and it fires up. Unless it is in the pedal electronics?
Do you have a cable tb or elect?
