[V8] Bogging Down/Restart

Hi, I've had a restart when hot problem that has caused me to replace the two 
flywheel sensors- twice! I still have an intermittent no start out on the road.

I have been wondering if this faulting at idle and lack of fuel (throttle body?) when 
restarting -at operating temperature- could be related to the TPS and its link to the 
transmission. I would like to know more about "the Trans does use it (tps) 
throughout the full range for the sport mode".

 Could the selector or the multi function switch be part of a no start when hot, fuel 
problem? I, recently, selected a low gear for boost coming off a corner and the fuel 
cutoff(?) causing the V8 to stop. I could only restart it using ether spray in the air 
box, just like a faulty reference sensor.
 
I have found adding octane booster to my gas has cut down the possibilities of 
stalling when idling at a light. Otherwise, this car performs. Thanks, Bob Williams
