Two things I would now check being you went through all this. Battery and state of alternator charging state. I would monitor the voltage on the battery when this is happening. It happened to me, voltage dropping on alternator, truck acting up, stalling, especially when put in reverse. The voltage would be at 13.8 and drop to 12.3 or less all of a sudden. Also the crank sensor, I did the same thing, replaced all sensors, PCM etc.
Turned out the crank sensor I put in was no good. Used a actron scanner to monitor timing when this happened and it was jumping by 8 -10 degrees. Timing chains wear but mine was still tight after 250K.

If you have the V-6, and an aftermarket crank sensor....... that may be a large part of the problem.

Thank you.

I agree- wiring maybe .
Odd that it restarts after 10 min ..take it back from that no spark an work from there.
A rentable Live Data scanner can tell a lot during run,after shut down an at restart.If yours has one check Auto shutdown relay too.
As said earlier many aftermarket sensors not from dealer can act up too..02 a lot ..

My 04 was doing the same thing except it would restart right away. Turned out to be the remote starter module and and related wiring, Removed the remote starter and all related wiring. Has worked fin ever since.

If it's established that there is no spark after shutdown and requires cooldown to create spark, if the coil is new, and PCM has been replaced as stated, the next thing I would be looking for is a failing pin connection.

After shutdown/restart failure, double check that you get 12 volts at the orange coil wire. If yes, continue. If not, examine harness back to ASD relay

Using a test light or high speed digital multi-meter, check that there is a ground pulse coming from the PCM to the black wire of the ignition coil harness. Supply 12V to one side of the test light, and connect to black wire with other side of test light.

If it's confirmed that there is no pulse at the coil connector, the next step will be to check for the same pulse at the PCM. If it's still absent, I'd check pulse on the crank sensor wire at the PCM.

After all this I say you need a good reputable diagnostic shop to check it out the forum is not the place for such a drastic problem.

I question the no spark problem.

I also question if this has been an engine swap or engine rebuild gone wrong done wrong.

I think your not telling us the whole story something is not right.
