Engine cuts out when warm

Hello
I have an 85 Camaro, 2.8 liter fuel injected and here
is my problem – There is no error code but when it is cold
it runs fine but after a mile or two it starts cutting out.
I have already replaced the following:

Fuel pump
Fuel filter – twice
Spark plugs, wires, distributor cap
Gapped spark plugs twice
EGR valve
Ignition coil

I have checked for leaking hoses, but I have not replaced
any. I think if it was an injector it would miss when it is
cold too, but anyway this is more like the whole engine is
cutting out not just one cylinder. If anyone has any ideas
or suggestions I would appreciate them.

Thanks

check the control module in the distributor. i had the same problem when the module heated up the engine would shut off. the part is about 60 bucks and most places keep it in stock.

Control Module

Thanks for the advice, I took the control module and just had it tested and it was good. The guy sold me a new pick up coil that goes in the distributor, it was only eight dollars so I thought I would give it a try, plus I saw some rust in the distributor around the old pick up coil where water had gotten in.
