I've had it stumble and shut off and I've had it just shut right off. It seems electrical cause I can kind of make it do it when idling by flipping my headlights on sometimes. It's not a constant thing, as I just drove it a little while ago and it was perfectly fine. I have no smoking at all. I do still feel it's probally the MAF though from past experience. I'll clean it tomorrow and see how it goes. If anyone else has some ideas, post them up.
You might want to check over your wiring harness to make sure you don't have a cracked wire that is shorting out due to vibration. I'd sugggest you start with the harness over to the alternator and then move back to the fuse box and then to the ECU. You might also want to check all of your ground wires to make sure they're actually providing a constant ground.
