Any major vacuum leaks? Possible intake? Have you checked fuel pump pressure?

no vacuum leak and fuel pressure is good

Did this happen all at once?
Replied on November 15, 2011
Yes all at once got it to run for ten mins or so earlier but as soon as I give it gas now it stalls

I really feel it has to do with an intake leak. Double check to make sure there are no trouble codes stored in the computer.

That is a knock sensor error. THe knock sensor can play with the ignition timing. Have you checked it?
