Hey thanks! I got it started, and then after a few minutes it would stall. I will do what you suggested as soon as I get back to the house. Had to take my dad's car to work lol

Ok, I disconnected the MAF sensor from the harness and it started, but then died on me the same. Then after a few minutes I can start it back up again and it will run for 5 minutes or so then die. With or with out disconnecting the MAF sensor it seems to be behaving the same way.
I did notice that the idle will sometimes dip a little lower than usual when it is running though. Also, the few times I test drove it around the block it almost felt like the acceleration wasn't quite as responsive. Thanks for helping!

OK- we've ruled out the MAF.

There really isn't much else to disconnect in that area of the engine bay- wondering if your engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is going bad? These are known for causing similar symptoms.

You do NOT have a check engine light on, right?

Wonder if you have someone nearby with HP Tuners or DHP that could scan your car- you may want to check out ClubGP.com and see if anyone in your region can help you out before you take it to a shop.

Yeah, the engine light went off once I disconnected the battery for a while. I will check out ClubGP.com as you suggested though. I think it's pretty much beyond my level of mechanical knowledge at this point. I really appreciate you helping me out though. Very kind sir..
Whatever the problem is, I hope it's not to expensive.

No problem- I'm pretty confident it's a sensor that failed. Once someone hooks it up to scanner, you'll be able to pinpoint the issue pretty quickly.

Good luck- keep us posted.

You bet. There is a shop right down the street that does tuning, if I can't a private party that's willing, I'll just take the Monte down there.
