Help! Car wont start...

The car started up earlier this morning without any issues and I didn't notice anything irregular while driving. about 5 mins ago, I got the car started but as soon as the rpm's reached ~2100, I heard a click and the car turned off. Same thing happened a second time. I can still get it to crank but the car wont turn over at all. ~41k miles, all the maintenance work is up to date, and I've never had an issue with the car like this. Any help is appreciated, and mods in the sig

no cel's. i just got the car started again without any problems and left it to idle for a bit. turned the car off for 30 seconds then tried turning it back on. same thing happened as before, the car starts up but at roughly 2000 rpm's it sounds like some kind of fuel cut and the car just dies. I'll check the fuses right now

I wonder if it is a vacuum leak. You may want to check that too.

^Fuses seemed ok, but it very well could be a vacuum leak. Do I just need to do a boost leak test?

Check all your vacuum lines and boost leak test like PKEVO8 said. I just had a car come that would run but when it drove it would do something similar... Turns out coupler clamp broke.

if its a leak it would start but have a choppy idle with driveability issues. check fuel pressure. walboros (in my experience) tend to eat **** alot.

I was about to swap the stock fuel pump for my walbro to see if that was the culprit. I unplugged the wire harness on the fuel pump assembly and replugged it for sh_ts and giggles to seee if the car would start. surprisingly, the car tuned on without any issues, fuel pump was running fine, but it was definitely running super rich; lopey idle when starting the car and it was throwing some codes. Scanner showed P0069, P0113, P0102, and P2228. I'm thinking it's a faulty maf, but if anyone else has any input, it would be greatly appreciated

as of now the problem is resolved. ran the car in limp mode for a bit, replugged the maf, and all the codes were cleared. I'm thinking it was either a faulty connection with the wire harness for the fuel pump or maf. thanks for the help guys
