Its most likely the IAC-idle air control valve.

maaaaaaan where are you coming up with these solution possibilties?? you always came up with a ton of questions lol now you got solutions!!

but hey I call the IAC valve too.... its basically this IF you have to constantly rev the gas in order to keep the engine running... cleaning the Throttle Body helps

actually, I had a problem similar to that in my MX-6 and it was the alternator... but these guys know more about the solara than I do.

Alternate to look at:
Fuel filter (Top of my list if it's old)

This one's a looooong shot but if when it dies, the entire electrical system goes dead for a moment and then she won't start for 15 min or so, then check for corroded injector leads. That took 6 months to find on a Pontiac once.

LOL wtf. Lets just say i learned a lot on this site. To make sure its not the alternator bring it to autozone and they will check your starting system, alternator, and battery for free. See if this works, under the throttle body where you can rev the car from inside the engine, look directly under that and youll see a black thing connected to the throttle body with a wiring harness connected to that, lightly tap it with like a screw driver or something and see if the car will start after that. You can even take it out by unscrewing the two screws and try and clean it. Good luck.
