Have you checked it for spec fuel pressure, and a good spark during a no start?

'Never' shuts down while driving?

Only won't restart during a hot soak? never cold.. Do you hear the FP run on a start attempt hot? Check'n for 'vitals' during a no start condition like hot spark and spec fuel pressure/pump run can help with some direction..
