Fine, do you have spark all the way to the plugs? What is the fuel pressure must be AT LEAST 42 PSI as soon as you turn on the ignition
You didn't mention the ignition module
Check the engine cranking Vacuum it needs to be at least 2" cranking if not the catalytic converters can be so plugged the engine can't start YES IT IS VERY POSSIBLE HAPPENS ALL THE TIME
The other reason you may not have 2" of cranking vacuum would be a jumped timing chain also check the compression look for any low cylinders add some ennginen oil to those low cylinders and if they do not come way up right away you have valve problems.

Havea 99 Dodge Durango was going down the road engine die won't start back up. We change the crank sensor, rotor button, pick up coil and cap. The spark coming from the coil is orange and maybe 1/4 .

Did you change the actual coil ?
And is it getting full battery power from the ASD relay ?

The ac compressor does put an additional load on the engine.
Any minor problem with performance can be amplified with the ac on.
I would check fuel pressure and look at the idle air control valve.
Also check the computer for trouble codes.
Both 6 and 8 cyl engines use a cap rotor and wires arrangement, so it wouldn't hurt to make sure those components as well as the spark plugs are in good working order.
The bucking on the road and stalling at stops could be two different issues.

Three things to try:

It dies out of the blue. Sometimes at stop signs, sometimes going down the road. It keeps going through catalytic converters as well. We have changed spark plugs and wires, coil, coil wire coil pick-up,...

ECM is probably going bad... Try heating it with a heat gun... Sometimes that will trigger a shut-down and let you know if that is it.

Check your fuel pressure and compression. Could just be a bad fuel pump thats not putting out enough pressure to your engine
