It's probably the Mass Air Flow Sensor. It's the thing in your air intake. According to my Subaru guy it only shows up on the diagnostic computer if it is hooked up when it fails. I got mine from SUBARUPARTS.COM. I saved about $100 on the part and installed it myself. My failure wasn't as often as yours but the symptoms were the same. Riding down the road the engine would die. A slip into neutral and a turn of the key and I was up and running until the next failure!!!

No problems (knock on wood) since the MAF sensor was installed.

Just to be sure, why not WD-40 the MAF sensor connector and reconnect. Maybe someone loosend the connector when they were playing with the coil or plugs.
