You MAF( mass air flow) sensor might be dirty and wont be recognizing that you have air flowing properly and causes the engine to shut off. Dont worry this happens very often and will eventually happen to everyone. It will also cause youre idle to be 'funny'. i.e. reving to 3000 rpm then back to 1000. Its a very easy fix. theres a write up for it that will explain it a lot better then i will. http://forums.c7performance.com/showthread.php?t=7910&highlight=cleaning goodluck.
