sounds like a lack of fuel

i dont know if the 3.8 had a smaller fuel pump, but that would definately do it

you need to check fuel pressure with a gauge to see if it's dying as a result of fuel and then if it's not ..check for spark when it won't start......my guess is it may be a fuel prob..like weak pump or a restriction in filter
