Re: Engine dies while driving

If you connect the two green connectors under the dash, and then turn the key on, it will put the car into D-Check mode, and it will cycle the solenoids and the fuel pump and the fans, you can use the funnel method to check if the fuel pump is cycling on and off.

However, if the fuel pump shuts off, it won't immediately die, it will sputter a bit first due to the residual pressure in the lines.

I will second the MAF, try unplugging your MAF with the car running, it will immediately die in most cases. Usually what happens is cracked solder joints in the MAF, which in most cases can be repaired, there is an article on this somewhere on here, it's not very hard to do.
