3800 Car Died

[3800SC98]

So on my way to a friends house I stopped at a red light, and then out of nowhere car stalls and wouldn't start back up. Pushed it over to the side, tried it one more time, it started for a few seconds and then died again. Since it wasn't that far from my friends house I walked, came back the next morning and car started just fine.

Only code I get is P0102 but I did unplug the MAF the day it died since I had some issues with it on the past.

Replaced the MAF with a used MAF I bought, just in case, but I don't know if a bad MAF would've caused this.

Any Ideas? The car is back at my place but don't feel like driving it and getting stuck on the road again.

Thanks.

Does this usually happens when idling or cruising under 10 MPH and/or WOT acceleration. also does your car have trouble cranking over? Does it take like 2 or 3 cranks for the car to start? If so I would say your CPS is going bad. Probably need to replace it.

Nope, starts up right away. It is iddleling a little bit bad, but nothing extremely noticeable. I will take around the block tonight and see what happens. Hopefully I won't end up pushing the car again.

UPDATE: Car died on the way to the shop, had it towed, cranks and cranks but doesn't turn at all.

I'll see what they find.

next time unplug the MAF and try starting it.

If you have a mini-afc, remove it. You may have a short, the car will run with the MAF unplugged, but won't if the MAF is faulty.

Bad fuel regulator?

Shop said it was the fuel pump (second one) it was still under warranty so I hope to get my money back.
