Default stalling w/o sputtering

Hi all well this is the second time here. My first time was at the begining of the year with the same problem. And that is that when I drive my truck 95 dakota 2.5 it will just die on me with no sputtering or anything just dead. Then it won't restart for a day or so. I have noticed that it does do it when it's either cold or hot and it doesn't have spark or fuel to the injector.ummm.... so i'm at a lost in what to do. i don't trust dodge and my mechanic doesn't want to waste my money cuse he's also at a lost. so... this is what I've done to it this far. complete tune-up including sparks,plugs,wires,rotor,cap and the module under the cap, all the sensers but the map and speed senser,the computer module, and all four of the relay switches,it was mentioned that it could be splices that have gone bad i've check the two spots that were mention and there clean( i live in tampa fl). not much rusts or corroides down here. fuel pump 2yrs ago. upper motor rebuild with waterpump and timing gear@chain 1yr ago. i was thinking that it might be dirt in the tank but..... i don't know hate to drop it. I also hate to get ride of it and it be something simple that i missed. so if any one has any clue to what is going on then plz tell me. Thanks for any help.

it could still be the wiring, the continuity of the wiring could be bad, it doesn't have to corrode, the copper just has to break and it's all over, i would perform a continuity test on the wiring
