Default rough idle / car dies

I am having a problem with my SRT-6, 8000 miles. About a month ago I was driving around 40mph and the car dies. Pull over and it restarts but idles very roughly with a bad miss. It seems to smooth out with higher RPM. It gradually ran a bit better and managed to get it home. I did some research on this forum and thought it could be the CPS. I ordered one and a week later installed it. After start up I had the same bad idle, so I reinstalled the old one and figured I would keep it as a spare.

Went back to the forum and found some posts about a weak battery causing sensors to malfunction due to low voltage. The battery might have been original so I replaced it and presto..car ran great. It is only a weekend car so 2 weekends later this past Sat. I left my driveway and now the rough idle is back. I pulled back into the driveway, turned off the ignition and tried to start it again and -nothing - would not crank.
I tried 2 times and the 3rd time it started, but with the bad idle.

I am thinking of doing the RCM resoldering this weekend. Any other ideas? Thanks in advance.
