Post the readings here. You need to capture this when it dies. I'm sure Hammer will post his list soon which explains in depth what you need to look at in a no-start situation. I want to find a way to top this list he has, but its so damn good that I can't.

One thing that you could try is cleaning the throttle body bore and plate with a rag and some carb cleaner. Spray the cleaner on the rag and scrub the inside of the throttle bore out.
