Car idles then dies, tried everything! Well almost everything, I replaced the IAT sensor, the Idle air control valve and don't know what else to replace... Car is running on speed density, it will idle for about 1 minute then it will die. The check engine light isn't on whenever the car is running so I'm at a lost.. Thanks for any and all help!

Not sure, it idles fine for about a minute and it revs fine, so I don't think it would be that, or would it?
Also, when It idles fine I rev it up and it goes back and idles fine, after it starts to want to die it will die if I give it some gas...

Wow thanks man! I hooked up my gauge, it is solid for a while about 30 secs or so then the pressure starts dropping and dropping! Pump is about 1 year old, not sure if I should replace the pump, fuel pressure regulator, or what!?!?! I'm going to replace the fuel filter tomorrow!

Car runs like a champ, wish I would have done the pump first instead of spending 35 on the Idle Air Control Valve, oh well now that part shouldn't break for a few years!
