Car out of nowhere stalled last night, tried starting only runs for a second then stalls. Got it to start and two footed home. Started this morning, sprayed Throttle Body & Air Intake cleaner and ran perfectly fine but then stalled after about 5 minutes. Any ideas?

You probably wnat to check the fuel pressure first. You may also wnat to pull the trouble codes as well. Advance Auto or Auto Zone will pull the codes for free. Both of them also loan out test tools and you can get a fuel test gauge as well. There is a test port on the fuel rail.
Come back with the codes when you get them.
