    I put a new battery in after mine was dead for like 1 week car seemed to run a little rough and then ive noticed it seems to run ok then it will go from 500 rpm to 1500 rpm and stall out.

    A simple test here to just rule one thing out.

    Unplug the MAF and see if it runs for longer.

    How long have you let it run. Sounds like it lost it's learned idle. Start it.. put it in D and hold the brake, keep engine running about 700-1000 rpm for a full minute.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
