Intermitant cut-out and no start - the Advanced Class 200 1993

Hi All,
So now I have it, exactly as it says right in the faq:

"Sudden Cut-Out While Driving: On occasion, it will just completely cut out on me going down the road. No sputtering, just dead. It's like the key was turned off. Dash lites come on and yes tach goes to 0. Usually it starts back up on its own recognizance as I coast for 50 yards or so. Sometimes it does not, but if I pull off and let it cool down for 5 minutes, it starts right back up, and does not cut out again for a couple days"

Here's what I've done:

New fuel pump relay
New crank position sensor (aka rpm sensor)
thoroughly cleaned fuse 4 and 6 holders and fuses
cleaned verified battery connections

But still not fixed. Here is my list to do next in order

New ignition module (aka power stage)
check clean all connections at FP
swap coil with known good one
distributor impulse sender (aka pickup coil I've heard it called)

After digesting a million posts here I am really leaning towards the power stage as being the problem and it is such an intermitant thing I never have time to get my wits together and do some troubleshooting.

Does anybody have any thoughts on my next steps or steps I have forgotten about?
Thanks in advance
Robb
