Engine stops running for no apparent reason 200 1993

The engine of my 1993 240 on a few occasions, while running normally, has simply quit running, no idea why.

A couple of times for a fraction of a second the check engine light lit but engine “restarted” on its own; and twice while traveling at normal city speeds the engine stopped, and had to be restarted, which I was able to do as per normal.

The radio code was lost in some or all of these instances. My experienced mechanic (decades of 240 experience) could not determine the reason.

My beloved 240 is quite well maintained I believe. Perhaps someone in this knowledgeable group has some inkling as to what might be going on. Thank you in advance for any thoughts.
