    Ok, so been driving the GP more then not lately, and you'll be driving straight down the road, and it just randomly dies. No hesitation or anything, just dead. Throw it in neutral, fire it up and it does just fine. Well as of yesterday it now does this almost every time on acceleration and on top of that once you start it back up, as soon as you drop it in gear and start making any forward progress it shuts down again, with no hesitation. Anyone have even a place to start? Its hard to diag a problem that makes no since and has no purpose of why its doing it, nor can i get it to do it in the garage, has to be moving and have some sort of a load on it

    Unplug the MAF.

    Try that.

    If it runs fine then its a MAF issue.

    well my ses light was the MAF that i had unplugged for a second, and all stored codes all made since for the work i've done. Now according to the Genesys the car is running lean, the fuel pump is running in severe duty mode, and all sensors are sending correct voltage, yet the best air/fuel ratio i've gotten while being on the scope was 10.2/1 so wtf! It doesn't help that its 37 degrees and i can only run it for 2 to 5 seconds before it shuts down
