Still having spark would eliminate a lot of possibilities like the coils, ignition module and crank sensor. Have you determined that it's the pulse (ground) side and not the power side that is dropping out? Does the fuel pump drop out at the same time? Does it run good right up until it dies?

Everything here is pointing to the ECM shutting down. I know you said you changed it already but it could be something outside that is triggering it. I would start out by waiting until the next time it quits and immediately measure the resistance of all the injectors looking for one that my be shorted. The ECM has reset-able Quad drivers that may be tripping from overload and you just need to find what's overloading them.

That will vary with temp. Just compare them to each other and look for one way out of mainstream. Temperature is important though. Most of these issues will only show up under heat.

No, not usually. They would be independent quad drivers in the ECM.
