So last night i was leaving work, I started up my car and let it warm up for a good 5mins with no problems i couldn't tell there was anything wrong with the car. When i started to move the car it stalled after like 2-6 feet, i then turned it back on and let it run for another 2-3mins and it still idled fine with no problems. I tried to move again and it stalled, i think i tried it, maybe 6 times and it always stalled :confused: . I'v checked for boost leaks and couldn't find any, i checked my timing and it's set to 15*, i check my MAF, coils packs, spark plugs, fuel pump and they all seem to be good. I also checked my clutch by doing the 5th gear start test(try to move the car in gear 5th) it instantly stalled so I'm assuming it's still good. I'm out of ideas. The really weird thing is when i had to push my car off the street it stalled on me when the car was in neutral and idling fine. :wtf2:

Any help would be great. Thanks

i found the culprit, it was the CAS connector, the wires had been pull out of the connector and were shorting out. The second i touched the the wires to connector the car would instantly stall. I soldered a new connector and drove the car for 20min with no random stalls. So hopefully that was the main problem.
