Like I have said to you many times you need to find out what you are loosing when it dies.
Spark?
Fuel?
Injection pulse?
Then we can help you more.

You will need to get a fuel pressure guage and connect it to the fuel rail and monitor it while you drive.
You need to get a special tool called a noid light and when it dies connect it to a plug for one of the injectors and see if it flashes when cranking.(That is when it won't start)

That is what a noid light looks like.

Keep the top spark plug covers loose and check for spark when it won't start.

Maybe but that will usually throw a code.
Also make sure no fuses under the hood in the fuse box are bad.
If there is one blown let me know before replacing the fuse.

The nois light will help to tell if the Cam sensor is bad.
I believe the fuel relays are in the fuse panel under the hood.
