Aldo,

This could be several things. However since you are achiving "idle", this would indicate that your T/C and other parts of the system are likely performing ok to achieve idle.

The first and most logical check is for AIR LEAKS in the fuel delivery system. REMOVE ALL FESTO fittings between the fuel tank and the pump inlet. Depending on the size of the air leak, the engine will usually allow for a very small air leak at idle but when ramping up, will cause flameouts.

When your shutdown happens, are you seening a very large cloud of smoke or just a small "puff" ??

IF your seeing a very large cloud of smoke (unburnt fuel) this would be generally associated with an Air Leak. If all you have is a very small puff of momentary smoke, this generally indicate that the ECU or some other device caused the shutdown buy termination of the fuel flow.

The other sources for problems can be:

Sticking or week fuel pump.
Insufficent ECU battery voltage.
Intermitent T/C.
Defective cable / connector.
Blocked fuel needle tubes in combustion section.

Please advise.
