Stalling after warmed up.
2000 SSei. Stalls after warmed up, 10-15 minutes. No codes, no engine light. Yes, engine light works. I replaced the crank and cam sensors along with the Ignition module. I cleaned out the MAF. Plugs are A/C. Will start back up after it cools off. I noticed nothing odd/unusual with the coil packs when removed. Plug wires are good. Fuel pressure is over 40 psi, even when stalling occurs. Getting spark. Help. lol
Anything I should look out for?

Went out and tapped on the MAF while running, started running funny. Tapped it again and it stalled. Hard to start. Got it running after a bit. I than unplugged the MAF and it ran. Plugged it back in and it died. Replace the MAF?

The GM reman crapped out Monday. Wifey left the house, calls about 5 minutes later saying the car is acting up. I threw my suit of shinning armor on to rescue her. It was acting like it did the last time we got some bad gas. I ended up towing the car home with my Jeep. This time, the engine light actually came on, wooohooooo! Makes it much easier when the car tells me whats wrong. Hooked up my scan tool and showed the MAF. I took the engine cover off the top, and the cover to the MAF was just about completely off. I'm sure water and crud has gotten in it. After calling GM and hearing their $359 price.... I called Napa and got a NEW one from them for about half the price. I hope this one lasts longer than 2.5 months......

BTW, you can unplug the maf and drive the car. The airflow will calculate off speed, throttle position etc from tables in the pcm. Most likely the car will be running rich, but it will and can run with the maf unhooked.
That way you don't have to tow

Thank you Bill. I didn't suspect the MAF, so I didn't bother. I had thought of disconnecting it, than thought it wasn't it as it seemed to be more of a fuel/skipping issue. Acted different from the first time the MAF went out. Not to mention it'* under the engine cover and I had no tools to get the nut off that holds the cover on. lol The cover is now sitting in my garage.......

There'* a chance it'* not the MAF, check the wires on the plug. Had a grand prix here about a month ago with MAF problems. Turned out to be a loose wire in the plug.

That was the first thing I checked after pulling the code. I thought the MAF should last much longer than a few months.... Defective reman I guess. :(
