Default 1993 silverado dies then comes back to life a day later.

Hey guys
I need help please.
My 93 350's problems started about a month ago. It died on me and would not start for crud! Waited the next morning and tried it just for the hell of it. It started Yahoo! Almost it died again in about 2miles.
I figured it would be the pump, but i have fuel coming out of the injectors. So i have pressure, not sure how much. i changed the rail fuel filter about 6 weeks ago, as well as regular maintenance, oil, plugs wires, cap, and rotor.
Any ideas would be thankful.

223000 original on motor and tranny.
2nd owner oil changes on regular basis.

Thanks

Any codes? Check the fuel pressure it HAS to be within specs to work right.

There is a relay on the firewall that sometimes goes bad, you could check that, but that sounds like a fuel pump problem to me. Did you change the fuel pump wiring when you changed the pump? Just an idea/

If anyone can help I would really appreciate it. Changed ignition coil,cap,rotor timing chain and gears.
Still no spark could it be my ICM? or just a bad ground somewhere?
