Question electrical/engine?

Sometimes my car starts and stalls erraticaly. If i let the car idle
it shuts off. When i press the gas it surges like it doesn't want me
to give it any gas. Same thing when i drive it. It might cut off. But
if im lucky i can drive it for a while and its ok. And when i shut
it off after driving for a while it will start back up. But if im unlucky
and it shuts off i can start it turn it over but it stops immediately.
Now this is the confusing part.If iget a jump the car runs perfectly
for a couple of days,b4 it acts up again. I had a new battery, starter,
alternator installed it still does it. I even had a tune up earlier this year.
fuel filter plugs wires even fuel cleaner.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: electrical/engine?

I think your problem is the Crank Position Sensor (CPS). The CPS tells the computer when to fire the coils, and when they start to go bad, you'll get a random no-start/stall problem.
