2007 GP randomly dies

Have an 07 3800 na that will randomly die idling or driving. I know before I bought the car that the previous owner replaced the crank sensor. Since the fall the car will randomly just die and seems to be more frequent now. No codes but the info display will read "starting disabled due to electronic throttle control". I've plugged in my Bosch code reader and my blue tooth odb and checked live reading of the throttle body and really not seeing anything odd. Once it dies it takes 30 seconds or so before it will crank and start, before then turning the key does nothing. I took the TB off and cleaned it, sprayed electronic cleaner in the TB connector, MAP plug and MAF plug. Starts alot better than it used to but still dies randomly. Cold start has never been an issue. Before I throw parts at it I am wondering if because if the display it is simply the throttle body sensors. Car has 245k and no cel light on. Been reading as much as I can but do not recall anything where this comes up on the display, at least I don't remember. One other thing remote start does not seem to work anymore...coincidence?

Thanks

more than a dozen times ive come across this sort of under high load stalling/stutering/stalling is related to the harness being improperly routed/secured and shorting out omn the ac compressor pulley/back of crank pulley/etc.


always start with the most recent repairs and verify nothing went wrong before guessing on causes, most likely a portion of the ICM to crank/cam sensor harness is rubbing through
 
Thanks, I'll check that out but I get no shuddering or warning before it dies...its either running or not while idling or cruising.
