Default cutting out

my cossie was sitting idling today for a few mins and it just cut out,
then driving along the road, i lost all revs a further 4 times, no warnings,
no juddering, all power just disappeared,
then when i dipped the clutch it stalled the engine
i left the car to cool down for 2 hours and went to drive it,
as soon as i started moving it did it again,
but then it restarted and i drove for 3 miles no problems.
any ideas guys ???????
