Default Ignition Failure/shut down

I have a 1992 Dodge Stealth Twin Turbo. Recently my vehicle has developed a problem. When it's first started in the morning or if it's sat for a while it will start fine and drive. If I've driven it and let it sit for a short period of time it will start and then it will shut down. The whole ignition system shuts down. Once in a while when I'm driving it will shut down while I'm driving then start back up. Any Suggestions? Similar Problems? Thanx.

ECU capacitors are probably leaking.

I'll try that next, just went through and replaced all the ground wires and upgraded them to four gauge thinking it was shorting out or not creating enough of a ground.

The PTU? It's under the coil packs. They will go bad and cause a coilpack to not fire...but when they go bad, they usually go bad...not work intermittantly.
