so, i was driving home and when i pressed the gas the car felt like it was kicking/sputtering and when i came to a stop the car turned off on me so i waited a couple minutes and i tried to turn it on and surprisingly it did. so, i rushed home before it turned off again. It was throwing code p1233.

The parts i changed so far are the Fuel Pump, Fuel Pump Driver Module, Fuel Filter, and Coil Pack.
Any Ideas?

It would barely start before i changed the coil pack but now it starts fine, and the coil pack is the last part i changed.

Did you clear the codes after changing out he fuel pump and driver?

Faulty Fuel Pump Driver Module: The FPDM may be malfunctioning, leading to improper fuel pump control.

Blown Fuse: A blown fuse in the fuel pump circuit can trigger this code.
