ANOTHER ISSUE FOR ME! *Code found*

So I was about to leave school and my car wouldn't turn over. The cranking sound was normal, but it wouldn't fire. So I tried multiple times, and finally it started. But it only lasted for a minute. I tried again and it ran for maybe 10 mins. I am scared to leave the lot incase of it dying again. Is this a sign of a failing fuel pimp? Or are my new plugs, wires, coils faulty? Im sick of this problem stuff.

i would suggest putting a pressure gauge on the fuel rail and see what it reads.. my guess is a fuel pump... if that is the problem Rock Auto had a Delphi pump/sending unit (other cheaper) for like $160. and can be swapped in 30-60 min.

I bought one a Sears for about $30 a few years ago. It came with all of the adapters for domestic cars...very easy to use.

Found the issue. It's a faulty MAF sensor. It wasn't throwing a code, until I got it to the shop. I will buy one asap, what brand should I get? AC Delco, Cardone, Hitachi, Dorman, or Standard Motor Products are the ones offered on Rock Auto.

AC Delco, or get a used OEM one off a junkyard car, or from haro. The rest are junk.

Thats what I figured. Is the parts direct from GM just AC Delco? Cause the guy at the shop said it was like 350 for a new one. On Rockauto is 175.
