Default Help needed

Hi
I got my 92 SC400 a while ago and its been running fine until when I recently took it to a mechanic to test my shocks. After he drove my car, my car would start, but then immediately turn off. I finally caught ignition after ~8 tries. My rpm was lower than usual, but he said it is fine to drive as long as I keep my rpms up. So I drove it, and at first it was fine, but after a while my engine would just die off randomly on freeway and local. The car would immediately start after so I don't know what the problem is. Has anyone had this problem or know of it? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
