Why does my 97 Pontiac Grand Am keep randomly cutting off?

I have a '97 Grand Am that has the 4 cylinder 2.4L engine. At VERY random times, my car will start sputtering and shut off. The only way I can get it to crank is if I wait approx. 20-30 minutes and crank it again. If I try to crank it right after it cuts off, it will start then sputter or just not start at all.

I have already changed the TPS sensor and and the ignition module.

Other info:

-I can drive the car for over 500 to 600 miles without any problems. But also, sometimes it dies off twice in the same day.
-The check engine light comes on, but throws different codes each time.
It threw TPS sensor code so we changed it.
It threw a Cylinder 1 misfire, but when i cranked it 30 minutes later, it wasn't missing.

-The check engine code also said it was the Crank sensor(about 2 weeks ago).

Could it be the crank sensor? What other things can I check?
