Car stalls while driving then takes a while to refire. It does matter if it is cold or hot. I have changed the icm, fuel pump, fuel filter, air filter, plugs, plug wires, coil and coil wires. Sometimes its starts then dies. Sometime you can drive it and it runs fine. then you try and start it after driving it. it starts the dies just like you turned the key off. It does this randomly. Any thoughts?

clean throttle plate on both sides with choke cleaner and iac hole. scan for codes and check fuel pressure with a gauge 41-47 psi any thing lower pump is bad.

They replaced the fuel pump so I don't think that is it, I can tell you if the MAF sensor is starting to go out it can tell the PCM to turn off the fuel, and can heck this by unplugging the MAF sensor to see if it makes a difference, here is the location of the sensor so you can give it a shot. Please go over this video as well
