AFM, make sure the plug is on there correctly...and make sure the AFM itself is connected to the intake and so on :-p

I just had the same problem. My AFM went bad. The ECU cuts power to the fuel pump if it doesn't detect airflow after 5 seconds. Check your AFM plug first. To check the AFM expose the intake side of your AFM. The flapper door should swing freely and not catch. Mine was catching. I proped the flapper door open by sticking a large screwdriver in it to see if the car would stay running, it did so I removed the screwdriver, it died. Post a WTB add and get a used one for $20-30 or a new one for $680

If your AFM is not fairly "level" (from the door's hinge 90-degree perspective), the door will bind up on you...
Jumper the yellow check connector near the right strut tower. If she stays running then, it's definetly the AFM door switch...
