Well good news finally! Found out exactly what is the problem with it. The engine keeps on being flooded with fuel thats why the engine cuts off. I changed the fuel pump to a walbro. What other things can i look for? MAF?

The "flooded with fuel" sounds a bit more along the pre-ignition side of things.

Checked spark plugs, fuel pump, fuel pump relay, coil packs. Everything is ok and working fine. Checked the maf sensor and it looked bent/damaged in a way. Could this of been the cause of my problem? Not getting the right reading to send to the ECU to create the right mixture of air and fuel?

I replaced the MAF with a new one and have been driving the car for 2 days now and no problems what so over. Car idles much smoother than before as well.

Are you able to have someone take a look at your tune and see if it is a tuning issue?

That can be a possibility. BUt i had the ecu reflashed about 2 years ago and worked fine. Nothing like this ever happened to it until now.

When the car shuts off the battery light comes on and the oil light comes on on the dash. When the car is started back the lights turn off. The oil level in the car is good and i had a new battery installed 3 months ago.

Tonight when i started within 30 seconds of driving it cut off on me, it cut off like 3 times. I can smell fuel the first time it had cut off. Then i started the car back and drove home which is like 3 miles away without the car even cutting off.

One thing i noticed is that i can predict in a way when the car is going to stall. The rpm will drop like by 100-200rpm for like half a second and then after a couple seconds it will stall.......

I found on my car a big leak at my map sensor as well as 3 injector o rings. I put a thicker o ring on the map and just went ahead and installed some bigger injectors with new orings, been waiting to put them in. So now the car seems to stay running but is in need of some tweaking on the tune. Do a boost leak test and see what u find. Think I fixed my problem but maf cars and speed density cars act a little different, good luck.
