Default my car keeps dying..

so i just replaced my spark plugs hoping that'll be the problem but its still dying. when i first start my car its perfectly fine. but after that i drive for like 4 minz turn off the car. start it back up and it just dies. so i was wondering what you guys think i should do? the battery is new, i replaced the fuel pump, and im not really sure what else to do but to just go little by little and fix one thing at a time.

sounds like fuel line, check the valve on the feul rail see if you are getting pressure, if you are not i would get a new feul filter,AEM is good, also your injectors could be spitting, that should clear it up if you still have problems PM me

Does the key stay on the "ON" position, or does it kick back to the ACC position?

it'll start but then the rpm will just go to zero after a couple of seconds. and thats if its my lucky day. if not it'll just start for one second then die. and i guess i'll just have to go one by one on the list to replace. thanks for the help.

Check spark, check fuel pressure at the time of failure.

Ignition switch may be kicking back^^^^.Alternator is a good idea^^^^^ you should see 12volts engine off and about 14volts engine running this is a quick test for the alternator.

You should check out the ignition switch...
