Did you change, modify, replaceor do anything elseto the carpreceding the problem that you now are having? Did the problem occur all at once or has it gradually become worse?

MAF? I replaced mine much better, but still likes to shut off everyonce in a while. Our cars are ran on vaccum

i would hate to think it could be a clogged cat since it's not even 6 months old. clogged fuel injectors?! thanks, didn't think of that, i'll dump some cleaner in th e tank and see what happens

fuel injector "cleaner" isnt going to do it. youre going to have to pull your injectors and clean em with compressed air.. its the only sure way to make sure they are not clogged. snake oil FTL!!!

You could also take it in to a local auto store...they can run a check for free.
