Default 95 GTP 3.4 DOHC randomly dies while driving

I am stumped. I have a 95 GTP with the DOHC 3.4. It drives fine, then just dies for no apparent reason. Let it cool off a little and it cranks up and drives fine, just to die again later. I have replaced the coil pack, module, ECU, and the crank position sensor. This has not corrected the problem. It also seems to be worse when it is hot outside. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Well, you are either not getting fuel or spark. You seem to have replaced a lot on the spark side, so maybe its the fuel filter or pump.

OOPS...didn't tell ya'll that when it won't start, it is getting no spark but spins over just fine. I just purchased a fuel pressure gauge, but now the damned thing wants to run forever, possibly because it is cool outside.

Thanks for your help!

I think I found the problem. The damned motor has 2 crank position sensors on it! I changed the one behind the balancer, but just found out about the one in the block! I hope this helps someone else before they go through what I did to fix the problem!

Thanks all!
