Default Car dies while driving..need help

Okay I have changed the fuel filter, cap, rotor, had the distributor tested(good).

Well i will be driving down the road wheather i am cruising or slowing down and the car will shut off. I dont have power steering if the car is not in gear, only happens when the car is warm, and all the lights on the dash(check eng. light, oil, seatbelt, ect..) do not light up. I turn off the car when i am stopped, turn the key and nothing but the stereo comes on. I sit for about five minutes and the car will turn back on. I will get about 5 miles before it does this again but then sometimes i can keep driving and it wont shut off. I took it to the dealer and they tried to tell me that my old alarm still gets power and is somehow shuting the car off. Well i took the power and ground off the battery and the wire in the fuse box off but still does it.

I very confused about this so any help would be great. I am leaning at the ignition relay now.

Thanks in advance....
