wires could be broken inside the insulation . Lose contact  when flexed.

I did trace the wires and all looks good!  I don't understand why it only stops heating the nozzle while printing.  As soon as I pause the print (because it stops extruding due to the cool temperature of the nozzle) it begins to heat back up.

Hook a meter up to your power supply and see if the 12 or 24 volts is dropping when the motors start running. Your power supply may be getting bad and can't supply enough current for all the functions.

This can be a common problem with the stock hotends assuming you have not upgraded.
