Is it dying immediately after it turns over? If so, check the ignition switch.

Have you ever serviced the IACV? I had issues in the summer when it was warm that it would sputter out directly after being started. The idle would dip from 1200 to 400 and either return immediately or die. I just did a mass service on the IACV, EGR and intake manifold cleaning everything and changing gaskets. Can't speak for whether it made a difference for a while but maybe try the IACV?
