New Member with car trouble

Hello everybody, this is my first post so please excuse any poor manners on my part. I have a 2001 GT 3.8l and I'm having a bit of trouble. I have been having an issue with the car dying its been going on for about 4 months and has progressively gotten worse. It started out as the car stalling every now and then and starting right back up usually. Now it has progressed to the car dying after about 15 mins and not wanting to start. At this point I have replaced the crankshaft sensor, the camshaft sensor, knock sensor, spark plugs, fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, and coolant temp sensor. I'm pulling my hair out!

Edit: It seems to be worse when going up and incline. Generally the going up will cause it to die pretty quick.

double check the crank sensor harness. and theres always a chance the crank sensor is bad. new parts out of the box being bad happens time to time.
 
id give the harness a good checking for damage. being you changed all that pretty much.

have you cleared the codes since changing the parts?
 
We checked it when we were under there before. Being that it took forever to get to it lol. I'm just really out of ideas. The only thing left to do I can think of is change the fuel filter.
 


Yep. Cleared them about a week ago. It's been off since then. Ironically enough, I just started the car and it clicked on tho.
 
figures right.

check the grounds on the tranny bell housing, and the icm ground on the side of the head under the coil bracket.
