Sounds like a bad ground. Remove all of the ground connections to the engine, clean them sand them and reconnect them, do the same with the harness grounds on the transmission. Check the negative battery cable for internal corrosion (thick spot under insulation). Check battery post into battery make sure it hasn't come loose internally. Most shut off problems with no other symptoms are ground issues.
