01 Psd Dies While Driving
HELP,my 2001 psd dies while driving down the highway around 100 miles. 
It's done this several times. I have had it in different shops and they can't seem to pinpoint the problem. Codes are different every time. It has not done this while in the shop and it has been there a few times. I was going to use the superchip micro tuner to read the codes immediately after it does this and see what the computer is saying. any thoughts?

Lately, there has been a rash of incidents where rain water has gotten into the IDM (injector drive module) creating havoc for a few guys. This is always a possibility! 
Another few have had trouble with having a good connection to the ICP (injector control pressure sensor) so you could check the wires in this location as well.
Cam position sensor would be the most obvious though, but it sounds like you've eliminated it in some way? It has been known for a new CPS to be bad as well though!
Ever had your valve covers off? Sometimes a burned connector to an injector or two in the valve cover gasket..or one of the connections has been known to create havoc as well.
Many of us have had issues with the fuel heater as well, and now run with them unhooked, as they are basically only needed in extreme cold situations.
Also, fuel pumps have been known to cause issues.
Check these out, and report back.
