560 sl shutdown cruising at speed the car just shuts off, will restart after a few seconds anybody have any clues. fuel pump maybe?

My initial thought would be the fuel pump. My VW exhibited the same symptoms when the fuel pump started going bad...i.e., dying at highway speeds, but car could be restarted after a few seconds...

Fuel Pump Relay...........is probably going south. My 380SE did that and if I was fast enough to switch off the key and back on it would start right up.
