okay so today i was driving my car at about 50mph and i put it into neutral to let it coast and it just shuts off. so i put it in to forth let off the clutch and it still isn't running so i feather the gas and it cuts on and i'm riding again then it backfires really loud through the pipe one loud time. so i pull up to a red light and i'm slowing down and i put it into neutral and it shuts off again. so i;m sitting there trying to crank it nothing so i start feathering the gas back and forth and it fires a little it act likes it wants to crank at 0-200 rpm so i finally get it runniing and take. it burns a little rich. is it my fuel pump getting weak or my MAF sensor??? it randomly cuts off. but sometimes it will crank up fine. but when it shuts off and i crank it up it cranks up like there was nothing wrong with it it will run a little rich at first. ???? help please.
