Default engine dies while driving

My mustang has 60,000 miles on it and so far i have had no problems. However, this morning when driving it, i was going 30 mph in 2 gear, the engine just shut off. I didnt think much of it because it was the first time it happened. On the way home today, it did it again and now im starting to worry a little about it. Anyone know whats going on or had similar issues?

When it stopped did you hear the fuel pump running?

Listen for the pump and see if is still running first.If your foot was on the throttle when it happened the disregard what the guy said about the IAC valve.
