Major prob with 95 max engine helllp

ok i got a 95 max with catback exhaust CAI, y-pipe the usual was thinking of getting turbo when my car started actin crazy, ok the prob is it accelerates and then stops repetivly while im holding on the gas it only happens some times but when it does its bad it usualy dies after a while but starts up when i put it in neutral and turn key after a while, nothing shows up on computer at my mechanics shop. which my car has been too 5 times for the same prob that cant seem to be fixed. i replaced fuel pump remembering the time i drove a car with no gas in it it seemed like it did the same thing moved stoped moved stopped n then died. the fuel pump eneded up being a defective pump i then was sent a new one and the prob was still there. i neeed help of any ideas of what is causing my car to be sooo unreliable it works one day the next it accelerated stops over and over till it dies it also rides real rough while the prob is happening but on other days rides beutifull me and my mechanic are very confused

Check spark plugs, coil packs, knock sensor, change fuel filter. Clean throttle body , run seafoam. Just trying to steer you in the right direction, good luck.

Please double check your grammar, it is pretty bad and makes your post hard to read. Anyway, you could try cleaning your TB. Is it auto or manual? Does it accelerate really hard and then stall? Or does it stall while you are accelerating?

MAF sensor? If they've not replaced it it might be a good idea...sounds like what may be wrong (especially if you're running a K+N).

Have him run your car with a scan tool. If its a good scan tool he/she should be able to see what exactly is not working properly. Have them check your coolant temp sensor. Seems a lot of them are going bad this time of the year. That could possible cause your car from doin all what you just described.
