it started right back up when she got it to the side of the freeway, and then she drove 80 miles home with no problems.

BTW this apparently is the third time it has happened

I think if the timing belt broke you'd know it. That would be accompanied by some "abnormal sounds".

Re:what would make this happen?
 

no, there wouldn't be any sounds unless you were revvin the ---- out of it and the valves hit the pistons hard.

maybe there is a short, or a bad ground somewhere.
