Check your relays cause if it idles funny and then cuts off it could be a relay or bad ground. If those are fine then the next thing it could be a bad dizzy.

Check your voltage to your MAF, if its not getting correct voltage it will throw a code for a faulty MAF. should be 12v on the power (white + black), 5v on the signal (white). If you are not getting either of those readings trace the wires back until you find the problem. Also check your ground. Could also be your IACV.
