Default 2000 Avenger ES stalls while driving

First off great forum and thanks.Problem is stalls while driving not overheating no knocking or any advance warning no codes just cruising along and dies.Upon a very lengthy research and a cpl $ grand later narrowed it down to either a egr valve or the cps I hope.Just would like a few thoughts on which is more likely.Of course new plugs wires caps dist etc etc also the cutoff relay.Love this car I had a 95 had to return because of a non starting issue which ive recently found out was the 02 sensor live and learn eh lol.
thanks again for any comments or suggestions

Well replaced the cps just wish i could try it out now lol,New problem If you wanna start a new thread no problem.Now it dies when you put on brakes rough idle around the 1500rpms it sputters and want to die put in gear (reverse or drive) still rough idle no cel when it dies no code from key seems to run fine in higher rpm dont know have a 1/3 rd mile straight before stop sign seems to run fine till put on brakes and sputters and dies so trying the egr valve next
Should add doesnt matter cold or running temp
