Does the idle fluctuate and is using oil...If so the bottom of the intake is leaking ...Real common problem...

the plugs were clean,it usually starts fine runs smooth then will start missing and die..

If it dies after its warmed up and doesn't throw a code its usually the camshaft position sensor. The cam position sensor is under the distributor cap.

You may need to also do a compression check to rule out more serious internal problems! Also check the fuel rail pressure.

I would be testing the IAC valve and the fuel pressure.

Curious,if you found an answer.

I have seen the cam gear on the distributor shaft wear out and the rotor spins out of balance causing the firing order to be off
