Default SO im having problems...

Well it all started out 2 weeks ago. I pulled into a restaurant to eat and my car wanted to die. It normally idles at 1000 RPMS, but it went to 500 RPMs. I drove it home and the next morning I start my car. Sounds weird when I stand behind it. So I go to back up out of my driveway and in Reverse my car dies. I start it back up again and its having the same problem. I come up to a stop light, stop sign, or traffic and when im in DRIVE it wants to die on me so I put it in NUTREAL and it idles just fine. SES light came on so I scanned it and the MAP SENSOR came up. I fixed it with a new map sensor. Well, it started back up again. Not sure what is up. My car is tuned with a MS3 cam and full bolt ons and its an A4.
