Does it die when it gets hot or does it just not start back up ?

i got problem fixed. it ended up being the wiring harness to the coolant sensor.

That would be consistent with CTS open. The sensor will read open, and the PCM will interpret that as very hot, and lean it out quite a bit, even for open loop mode.

Glad you found it!
