You really need to be 100% sure what the problem is before considering replacing the ECM!!!
Replacing the ECM is not a simple job; as others have already stated, it requires programming the VIN no., milage, Injector codes, and SKIM code into the replacement ECM.
This has to be done by a dealer or someone the the correct DRBIII or equivalent tools and the knowledge to perform the correct operations...
If it cranks and runs with current ECM, you really need to rule out any other sensors or issues that could be causing the shutdown before going down the replacing the ECM path.
Is is setting any codes (DTC's) when this happens?
I also agree with Flash, I would be highly suspective of the crankshaft position sensor (CPS)....they are notorious for eccentric behaviour and not setting any DTC's...
