Engine Stopping intermittently

Engine Stopping intermittently
So I'm having a recently identified issue with my 2000 LR Disco II shutting down while driving or idling at super random times. The only things that seem to be receiving any power at all after the shut down are the radio and the ignition (light around the aftermarket push-to-start is lit up). However, if I go to restart the engine, it's like nothing is being acknowledged (push to start). Just stays lit up with ZERO change. If I disconnect the battery, everything is fine and it will start up but the random engine shut downs happen. They're superrrr sporadic. I can have it idling for 3 hours with no issue, or have it idling for 5 min and it will turn off. No pattern at all. I initially thought a ground was loose , so I cleaned them all and it still occurs. I started my car today and it started right up. Put it in gear and made it 3 feet before the motor shut down. This time, it was different. Even after disconnecting and reconnecting the battery, it still wouldn't start ot even turn over. When I hit my push to start twice (to put the car in "run") then went under the hood and pushed on the R2 relay. It turned over and started up. Would thr R2 relay also be causing it to intermittently shut off as well? Any help would be greatly appreciated
