1998 Dodge Stratus, 2.4L, approx 120,000 miles. Recently started intermittently shutting off while highway driving (not good) Coast to side of road, wait for a few minutes and it starts. Drive 10 to 20 more miles, same thing. A local repair shop diagnosed it a coil. All was well for about 20 miles, you guessed it, off again. I am guessing ASD or fuel pump. Your opinion please. Question

An ignition problem would cause the car to shut off like a switch, A fuel
pump or asd relay would cause the vehicle to slowly loose power then die.
Keep that in mind

A clogged gas filter will starve and kill the engine at highway
speeds, yet run well at low speeds. When you are stopped at the side
of the road, it will refill and appear to be ok until you demand more
from it at highway speeds again. That was my experience.
