An engine needs Air, fuel & ignition (In our case the compression provides a flash point). The computer can cut the fuel, but usually needs a reason to do so.
Chances are that you are having a fuel issue. Is the check engine light coming on? Is it a gradual dieing (Sputtering before stopping) or an immediate stop?
Has the fuel filter been changed recently? Has your friend drained the fuel float bowl recently?

I'd run it with out chip, just to eliminate it for sure, yeah you are making 4 or 5 miles with it, but ya never know. My brother and I had a similar problem on his boat when we first ran it out in the river, turned out to be varnish plugging the pickup tube and the engine would die. You might drop the tank and check it out if nothing else solve it before hand.

Does it die suddenly or stumble then die? If stumbling first, you might want to check you fuel pressure. Clogged fuel pumps seem to be an issue lately. I would guess if it is clogged enough it would starve the engine.
