It could be a bad coil pack or MAF, & then the resulting fouled spark plugs. If it was raining at the time, I would lean suspect the coil pack.

engine suddenly stopped. He pulled off to the shoulder and tried to restart. It finally restarted
but ran rough at low RPM's for a minute or so. After that, the starting problem occurred.
Previous to that the engine would start with one rotation, now it takes fifteen or twenty to
start.
