Default Engin shuts off when driving

Hello I am new to this so please bare with me lol. I have a 1993 2 wheel drive 3.0 v6 ranger that will just randomly shut off while driving. While I'm driving it will start to sputter and the it will just turn off. All the electronics will stay on but the engine with just die. Then when you go to start it it back up the engine will crank but not turn all the way over. I have noticed that I will do it once the engine gets warmed up because I can drive it first thing in the morning and it will be fine for about 20 minutes and then it will die but when it dies if I wait a couple minutes it will start back up but will die again 2 minutes later. It does it when my foot is on the gas and off of the gas and it even does it when I'm just sitting at an idle. I have changed the fuel pump and I have changed the fuel pump sending unit connector and I have bleeded the fuel line but with no luck.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you so much
Keifer

You change the fuel filter? Can you check your fuel pressure with a gauge?

Do you have a battery light on? If so, it's the alternator.
