Default 94XJ shuts off on cold days after quarter mile (RESOLVED

Lately durring this cold weather , I have been experiencing my 94XJ shutting off as i go down the road. Idle or at a stop it runs fine. Any Ideas? Faulty O2? Code reader doesnt give any codes.

*UPDATE* Turns out the CPS that i replaced a couple months ago, had somehow managed to get it's wiring harness moved so that it was contacting the exhaust manifold, .
So needless to say the wire insulation melted and it was shorting out on the engine. I put the OEM CPS back in and problem fixed!.

Additional info added:
I dont lose gauges, seems like i loose fuel pressure. but if it happens at HWY speed and i hit the gas , it jerks badly. Only in cold weather though.
once the engine is up to temp , the problem disappears. Im thinking it may be a fuel delivery issue.

first thought was throtle possitioning sensor. check fuel rail pressure. 31lbs at idle. 39lbs with vacuum disconected at regulator.
