Death by A/C?

Get an OBD tool. Check for any PIDs DTCs. Keep the OBD tool in the car and check for PIDs DTCs next time the problem happens.

Edit: Your problem is, as everyone is saying, probably a fuel pump problem - but it's difficult to diagnose problems over the 'Net. Modern cars are very good at diagnosing themselves. Get one of the fancier OBD tools and you can monitor various engine params to further aid your troubleshooting. With an OBD tool and the FSM, you can DIY most of your troubleshooting.

Late edit: Should be DTCs instead of PIDs

Was having the same symptoms.(false fuel gauge reading,power loss for a second)
Fuel pump failed and was hanging by the wires and hose.

The old pump tends to fail,(hard bump,fender bender) cause they come with only one spring that hold the lower portion (canister), the new version come with dual springs for rigidity.
Hope this help
