The way he explained it before:
"It dies like someone turned off the key"
It is electrical, if it was fuel related, it would die in a rough, sputtering fashion, electrical just shuts it off.
You need a Consult hook up, like Nissan Datascan. The ECU will throw codes that do not set a check engine light. Codes 11, 21, 34 and 54 do not set the check engine light.
If you can, try a different ECU... you are running out of other things to try, unless you have a bad wire in your harness.
if you can't try a different ECU, look in the FSM, EC & EF section, Page 90.
Perform the "Main Power Supply and Ground Circuit" test procedures. If your ECU is losing power, it will shut the car off like the ignition switch does.

One thing that I forgot to mention is that after it shuts off It will not start back up until it sets for 5 minutes then it starts back up fine and then shuts off again 3-4 minutes after idling.
