So yesterday i was driving and out of nowhere im getting no throttle response and i pull over and the car just shut off on me. I start it and it shuts off rigt away ill try to give it some gas but nothing, can a tps cause that, to start and shut off right away?

That happened to me. Fuel pump was getting weak and was only able to idle the car. Then I could only start it and it would die, then not run at all. I replaced the pump, DME relay and the fuse, problem solved.
Could be multiple other problems tho. BTW, mine is an NA, I don't have the extra parts related to the turbo.

make sure your intercooler pipes are secured. i blew one off on the track and had to limp into the pits. You have no/zero throttle.

i checked the pipes there good i always felt a little funny about the one that goes from the throttle to the intercooler because its a real tight fit and i got ot from lindsey but other than that i feel like the furl pump sounds about right

plus when the car stays idel it sounds like its camed and once i go it give it gas it sounds like its gunna die out

I'd probably suggest checking the AFM as per clarks-garage.
Sounds to me like you've got the dreaded groove.

Alternately, when was the last time you replaced your fuel filter? It could well be clogged and costs a lot less to replace than even getting your fuel pump bench tested.

On the fuel filter subject, apparently there is one in tank as well, should change it too. Then check fuel pressure at the rail.

i had the car a year and never changed it have no clue when it was changed last

and i have a new maf kit from lindsey think i shoud change the maf on that? or stick to the fuel issue first and work up from there?

Jamesr6967

Check Clark's Garage regarding FPR, sounds like it could be the culprit as well.

Sounds more like a vacuum / maf issue wih it sounding crammed. Check the Maf wiring closely since you are on a aftermarket setup. Are you on just chips or do you have a piggyback of some sort. Give us a list of mods I'm on my phone and can't see sigs if you have one.
