Engine dying while driving/won't start
So to start it off I have a 2002 dodge ram 1500 SLT Lonestar with the 4.7L v8 magnum 2wd and recently my engine has been shutting off on me while driving. The electronics stay on but the engine is off and when I turn the key it cranks but it won't start unless I give it gas then it will but today it's completely done won't even start at all. My battery is 2 days old my alternator and starter was checked out and it came out okay and I had just done a fuel pressure test to see if maybe my fuel pump was going out and it came out at 48psi and the norm was 44-54psi so that's okay and I don't have a check engine light on so the crank sensor is ruled out maybe fuel injectors clogged? Also I had a power control module and we took it off to see if it was going bad and it looked to have some corrosion on there so we didn't put it back on and cleaned the connections with rubbing alcohol, could my ecm be going bad or did I short it with the alcohol? i dont know at this point I'm stumped on what it could be I hope some one might be of help and have any suggestions to help me get her running again. Thanks you guys for any help and suggestions.
EDIT: I tried starting the truck this morning to just see if I light be lucky and now it doesn't even sound like gas is hitting the engine, yesterday it sounded like gas was there but couldn't hold the start like was about go but dies before it gets there now it's just nothing but clicking

Sums up the rest in between even thought this link is about my fuse but it's connected to the issue with the engine not running
