Youll need to install a fuel pump pressure gauge so you can see it through the windshield. Watch the pressure when it stalls. For pressure loss.

While idleing Twice it tried to stall while
Driving but because I was into the gas
Pedal all it did was sputter - as if it wasn't getting
Gas. But I know it is getting gas.
Seems electrical
