Hi guys recently my car wants to shut off after being on for 5min I changed the fuel injectors and nothing when I drive it it starts going then stops then goes like it loses power. My uncle has a solus pro scanner he scanned it and tested everything and seems to be fine im running out of ideas

My sister's Neon did that when the fuel pump was on its way out, when it acted up I would smack the fuel tank, and it would get right for a little while, but go back to lagging, every time I smacked it the thing would act right, when I changed it, the problem went away. Not saying that's your answer, but it could be. Keep in mind that's not the safest thing to do, homie. Good luck, wish I had more info for ya.

Yeah I fixed the fuel pump issue like a month ago but the car was running fine she mainly sits most of the day I drive to work and home but i started her up and few min later she starts sputtering wanting to turn off

Corey told me your fuel pump wires were loose and you had to jiggle them to fix it.So if you cant get the right signal to the fuel pump that is your problem there.
I thought we had this discussion before lol, sorry about that. My car developed a bad idle about a month ago, I changed my spark plugs and that was that, just throwing out suggestions if it's not the loose wire thing like galantlvr said. I hope you're not having an EGR issue like I am on this Diamante, I'm gonna chase the vacuum lines out and see what's going on there next.

I fixed the wires but I was thinking maybe my EGR isn't working

You can get a new egr gasket. try and clean up the carbon build up first.
Ok thanks I'll hit you up if I replace it

I was re-reading this... Now I'm thinking mass air flow meter. Try this, before you start the car for the 1st time (in the morning) unplug the plug to the maf sensor. After like 5min. The car will run on pre determined tables(open loop) it will run kinda funny but shouldn't stall. Let me know what happens.
Ok will try that thanks ill get back to you on that

No sex in the motor vehicle but I think it's the MAF once I plug it in the car starts to act up
