have you done any motor work to it recently? have lots of gas in the tank?....does it sputter then die, or is it as if you turned the key off??

it sputters and dies out. it has plenty of gas, and the gas is getting to the engine...no major work recently

check for pipes between the throttle body, and the Mass Air sensor.

if it sputters then it's probly fuel related. check the fuel pump.
