Truck dies randomly while driving

OK some more observations:
Cranking fuel pressure 50 psi
Seems to do it more when the engine is cold
Died 3 times on me in the first 2 miles on the way home tonight
After it warmed up, the last 2-3 miles were problem free
Put a test light on the injectors, and they are working fine
Pulled the driver box out of the circuit, same either way
...and the best part, after messing around with it this afternoon, it seems to have stopped doing it. I'm guessing a short in the wiring somewhere maybe? I dunno.

Throwing another thing out there...could it be that the TB is not closing all the way so when the IAC is doing its thing at idle and computer adjusts the fuel down for idle it doesn't recongnize that the blades are open allowing more air (lean mixture) and stalling it out?
This is how i think at work all day, most likely looking to far into it, but just another idea.

I don't think so...I think it's an intermittent short somewhere in the wiring. Whatever the problem was seems to have fixed itself. Truck is running great now, starts on the first try, and even from cold start doesn't die. I have no idea what was wrong. I'm sure it will rear it's head again, but for now the problem seems to have healed itself.

There was probable a bean stuck in it,
