96 302 intermittent no start

I hope somebody has figured this one out. My 302 runs good most of the time but recently it will die right after start up and stumble and or stall while driving. It has thrown a code P0320. I replaced the crankshaft position sensor. No help. Fuel pressure is right where it should be. Is there a common problem like bad grounds or something else I'm missing. Could it be a clogged up EGR valve or idle air control? I would expect codes for those to come up if they were the problem. This truck has left me stranded a couple times recently. Usually it starts back up no problem if I let it sit for a few hours or overnight. I have yet to hook up a timing light to see if I am getting spark while the no start condition is occuring.........

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Danny

Intermittant problems are the worst. IAC problems won't throw a code a lot of the times.
Unplug it and the truck should die. That will tell you if it's working at all.
