ok to the point. car starts fine, idles fine for about 30 sec to 1 min then idles rough and dies. if i rev it up it dies right then. i also get the codes po351, and po352 so i replaced the coil pack it looked bad. Still no help and still getting those codes. need help please!!!!
 
Does the car start right up after it stalls everytime? I just had the same problem besides mine wouldnt start after the first "stall" it was shutting itself off. Mine end up being the Crankshaft Positioning Sensor. Its by your oil filter. I would pull it, clean it and put it back in and then try it first. Shouldnt take longer then 5 minutes. Once you do let me know what happens
 
i agree I had the same issue with my 4g63 its under the timing belt but I bought it from a guy who didnt put the timing cover on and the valve cover gasket got messed up and leaked and when it hit the sensor it clogged the metal on its base and the car was crappy. usually its the crankshaft and if only a 1 or 2 coils is getting spark than its either the ICM the coils or the camshaft position sensor just food for thought.
 
i will check those things and get back with the results. thanks
oh and yes it starts fine everytime it dies

I cleaned out the crankshaft sensor. It had oil all over it and it didn't help any

any other suggestions
 
you might have a bad crank sensor, i have seen this numerous times when the car dies check your spark as it dies, you will need an inline spark tester though
