ok so this problem started happening 2 weeks ago when i went to drop my sister off to work after 15 min of driving my car just died like someone unplug the batt but all the lights and what not turn on when it died. i left it parked for a couple hours and it started up and drove fine the rest of the day .The next day i drove it it did the same exact thing died after 15min of driving left it for an hour tried to start it and it started right up but died down the street . i didnt drive it for a couple days cause i thought my fuel pump was out so i ordered a new one from walbro and installed it drove my car for 2 days perfectly without any problems thought i fixed the problem but died again when i was on my way home left it for 30 min then tried to start it started right up but died 10 min later tried to start it again after waiting a little it started but died right a way waited again tried it and started and the thing is it drove fine the rest of the night till the next day did the same exact thing :wtf2:

You should be more sorry for not using any punctuation. My head is ready to explode after reading that mess.

MAF code is where I would start checking. Why don't you hook up a fuel pressure gauge and watch it to see if the engine is being starved for fuel? Instead of replacing the entire fuel system one part at a time do some research and diagnostics because at this point you don't know if it's a fuel problem or not, you are guessing. I'd test the MAF as well to see what the code is all about. Don't replace the MAF until you can actually condemn it via testing, it would be a waste to replace it only to find it was a broken wire in the harness somewhere. Hope that helps.

*Please punctuate any future threads you start or I will move/edit or delete them.
