I recently had this problem where the car starts for a second and then the engine sputters and die. I've already change the fuel filter and icm. The problem remains the same. Ne ideas on what's going on?

I just ran the car with the MAF unplugged and it ran better than when i plugged it back in. Is that the problem???

If it idled without the maf plugged in, that's likely your issue. Are you getting any codes or.check engine lights when the car dies?
