What do you not get when it dies? That is a sign of a sensor getting hot, and failing......

Test and see if the PCM is trying to control the coil. If it isn't, replace the crank sensor. Mopar only please. The aftermarket fellers just don't work that well.

They could be your problem. Hook a test light up to the control side of the plug that goes into the coil. If it lights up your crank sensor is good, if it doesn't you need anew crank sensor.
