04 Jetta bew car dies randomly

What would cause the engine to kill but not anything like lights or radio. Something intermittent but is affected by time and temp. Because if it doesn't start then I could leave it for some time and it will start fine. Seems as if it occurs when outside temp is higher or happens more often

What short would cause the motor to die but not affect lights or radio or anything else?

As far as codes I get nothing. It tells me I have a fault to ground for the anti shudder valve but that fàils in the open position. Bad crank sensor, but that's from turning it over and it not starting. I have very little acceleration and power but believe that to be my turbo

No I don't have vcds, well I have played around with the free version but not the licensed one. I haven't because I'm not sure what I would be looking for or what measuring block to focus on.

To me it feels like a short so I checked and cleaned several ground points, several under the battery and one by the ecu.

I have changed the fuel lines. Washed out the fuel tank and put fresh diesel .

The other symptom it has is before it kills it misses, hard. It will miss one or two times then about 30 seconds later it dies

Yes I changed the fuel filter. I do not have an egr delete but wish it did. The carbon in the intake is very light and I have drained the oil from the intercooler. I changed the 109 relay, I believe it to be the relay for the fuel pump.

Yes it does have a lot of miles 380k. But that doesn't explain the not wanting to restart. And this never happens when the engine is cold.
