I'm not sure we can help, but can you provide more information about your setup? Are you running the stock MAF? What have you changed in the tune so far? Are you able to monitor A/F ratio during this period? Can you provide any data logs that show more details of what's happening?

Anything that could affect the engine idle (ignition angle, fuel injector duration, fuel pressure, throttle setpoint, O2 sensor readings, battery voltage, EGR valve, idle air controller status, VANOS, MAF, etc.). You're looking for something which is causing this to happen.

Also, is the DME triggering any DTCs when this happens? It may not illuminate the CEL, so read them after the engine dies.

You haven't mentioned if your engine/tune have been modified or not, so it's difficult for anybody to know where to begin helping you.
