If I drive at a steady rpm for over 40 seconds car shut off and have to reset ECU with a OBD2 scanner so it can start up again, what is causing this.

Does not make a difference what speed does if rpm is study for more seen 40 seconds it shuts off and won't turn back on unless I reset codes with a OBD2 scanner.

Try cleaning the MAF sensor with an electronic cleaner and see what happens

Next time it refuses to start don't wait for it to make up its mind-do below immediately to determine if its fuel or spark problem

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 away from ground-have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, Do you hear the fuel pump come On when you turn key on? If not check fuel pump fuse and fuel pump relay if okay-check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,coil's resistances,cap and rotor,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it and keep testing
