car randomly dies

So I've done the following so far with my car a few weeks ago...

-changed out plugs
-replaced battery
-replaced main relay
-dist cap & rotor
-air filter
-oil and filter
-fuel injection clean
-brake flush
-coolant flush

(98 acura CL)

My belts seem fine and nothing is wrong with my fuel pump or fuel filter as far as i can tell.

-Previous symptoms-
Anyways, before i did all of that, it would usually die quite a bit (after warming up about 20 miles). Also my rpm's would bounce at a stop and it would also hang pretty high (just from the sound) before it changed from first to second (auto). When starting back up it feels like it wants to start but doesn't turn over, so it takes a couple times. Another sign that it is about to die is my ABS light would sometimes come on and then it would just die. Sometimes in the middle of driving on the highway it would die as well.

-currently (after doing all that maintenance)-
My car has been running a lot smoother than before. Bouncing is gone. But it just cuts out randomly but not frequently (so far once every 3-4 days) . This time with no warning. But i don't have a hard time starting it back up.

Any suggestions??
