Only seen it a few times. Dodges and GM's. The crank sensor will crack at the bolt. This causes a very random shut down, could be a mile down the road, or fifty miles later.. The vehicle can start right back up or wait several minutes or hours to start.
Bad ignition module heating up and failing.

I had a similiar problem, found the solution there. It was the wiring harnes on the drivers side under the hood, just above the wheel well. there are a cluster of wires in a bundle. I unpacked the bundle carefuly and sure enough the were two or three wires all coroded, had wite powder from corosion. repaired the connections and bingo. I posted details at dodgeforums.com. browse around there. I posted pictures as well. this is a common problem.

Not good...you did more than I would have done...sounds like its time to take it to a qualified repairman and have him diagnose the problem(s).
SOURCE: Burning out the pickup coil in 1986 F-150 w/302
Hello genobeano: My name is Roger and I will give some information that should help. When you replace the pick up coil also replace the ignition module. The ignition module will short out the pick up coil. If the module is attached to the side of the distributor be sure to use die electric grease when installing the module on the distributor. Should you not use the grease you will burn up the ignition system. By the same token should the pick up coil short out the module will burn out. The fact it runs for a short time says that you have a heat problem. Normally is in the ignition system. There was a tech bulletin to replace the pick up and module as a unit to correct the problem.
Please rate the answer as this lets us know you received correct information. Should you need further help please just ask. Thank You for using Fix Ya. Roger

Sounds like your IAC motor is getting stopped up. Clean out the passage, and the throttle body. If that doesn't work, get a new IAC motor.
