04 V6 3.8L will run fine then all of a sudden will die. It will idle rough and then die again. Then 20 minutes later it will run fine. Runs fine on the freeway. Idling is always when it dies IF it acts up.

Also radio flickers on and off.

New alternator and exhaust manifold recently.

Fuel pump, and fuel lines check out fine.

Diagnostic says nothing is wrong but it keeps DYING!

Any ideas?
