Default Stalling issues

I am new to this forum, and I have an issues with an 04 Monte SS with a 3.8 SC engine, did about 70 miles on the highway, pulled into a rest area, got back in, stated it up, and it stalled right away, tried to start it for 30 minutes, would not stay running, always stalled as soon as it started, had it towed, and it started right up like nothing is wrong, changed out the fuel filter, and it ran great, for about 5 miles, then started stalling again, stopped, let it rest a few minutes, ran great til I got it home, 2 miles, and not it stalls when I start it, afraid to take it anywhere....any ideas?

Whenever the problem is a hot start-up, unplug the MAF sensor and see if it starts up then.

It might be that is starting to go.

Good call, unplugged the maf sensor, started and ran well, plugged it back in, started it up, and would stall within 30 seconds, thank you very much......Kevin

You can try MAF cleaner, (T-20 Security Torx Bit to remove), but it might be too far gone and require a full replacement. They are NOT cheap sensors.

it was too far gone, but was able to get one from a salvage yard for 60.00 with a 90 day warranty.......seeing the new ones that seem any good are close to 200, but it seems to be working fine now...thank you again

got a new set of tires, and the tire dealer said my wheel bearings were going, went to replace them, and when put the car up, there was hardly any play in the wheels at all, is there another way to determine if the wheel hub assy are bad?
