code scan

My truck dies every once in awhile, just completely shuts off with no warning. After about 10 minutes it will start right up. I've been carrying around a friends code scanner and last night on my way to work it died and the scanner picked up a code saying something about engine/dist. speed circuit. I didn't have a pen to right down the code number and when I got off work this afternoon the code wasn't there. Any ideas?

Could be a faulty ign coil or ign module or a bad ground or other connection. Try again to get a code. Conanski is very good on codes.
