Good luck! Can't hurt. Tried finding similar threads with solutions, a lot went unanswered unfortunately. Lots of people had your problem however it seems. How has the fuel pressure at the rail been..? It can be on the low side -- should still start however -- if there is "some" pressure and still no start or it is cutting out, I'd check spark (or all of what is between the plugs and the PCM...) Check that you have spark all the time. If it starts to die, or if you can simulate the conditions in which it stalls perhaps in the driveway.. try to verify spark in that instance. I wonder if something is coming and going that isn't just fuel pressure, perhaps spark. That was my problem when it came to the coil. A long while after it was the Crankshaft Position Sensor -- but that was years later. Definitely unrelated. I think that part can be mostly ignored if it is clearly happening under a load via the AC and easily replicated.I will check the coil.
