Did you check the sensors cold or at temp like when it fails?

both, but I just got off the phone with my local dodge service dept and they said that the IC could cause the issue that I'm having so figure heck with it, replace them both only cost me about $150.

Yeah, coil fires the plugs, if it decides it doesn't want to any more, engine quits running. Do all the gauges and such whine when the engine dies, or do they just drop to nothing?

gauges are all normal, as in they go to the key on but engine not running setting and no whining noises. all electrical and such is fine, if I try and restart it it will turn over but not fire sometimes just for a few minutes others for a day and I can smell fuel heavy so I know the fuel pump and injectors are good, just no fire. already picked up the parts, gonna do the IC first and see what happens, if everything is good can always return or store the CSS until I need it.
