Does it stutter, or drop RPM's before it dies? Or just die. Plus what was the original code. That may help us diagnose a bit.

sounds a lot like what I just had going on with mine. Check the elbow coming out from the intake. Lane24 can provide detailed instructions on where what and how to find and fix. My elbow had completely collapsed others have talked about a hole on the back side.
$35 part here in CA and only available at dealer in my area kcv-225 was the part number.

It may be your MAF sensor i know when mine started goin out it would idle for a little bit but if i even gave a little gas it would kill itself IDK thats the best i got.

If you aren't quite sure what or where the MAF is, It's covered under that same thread I linked to. On the second page. You need to clean that every few months as well. My CEL has come on twice due to a dirty sensor. You def. get idle problems there too.

im sure this has been checked...but this happened to me and was my problem...check the intake and make sure it isnt loose or off where it connects to the tube and the throttle body...mine was loose at the throttle bottle and barely on at the filter connection...cut off everytime i came to a stop light
