check the fuel pump under ur back seat. if its not getting electricity the its a fuse, relay or bad wire.. but if u getting electricity then replace the fuel pump. its in the gas tank.

chances are it's not your fuel pump..I was told the same thing, my car would die on idle out of nowhere. Mechanics all wanted 1k to fix it. I instead bought a new battery and this is what I did and it worked. Put new Battery in, started the Car with foot on brake and it started!! Still though it was a rough idle, so I kept foot on brake and put the car in Drive for about 5 minutes. I put on radio, I put the correct time, I put every light on in the car, wipers I put heater on full blast EVERYTHING THAT IS ELECTRIC, moved every window up and down for a few min. Then I shut off heater, wipers, radio, closed the doors and put the car back in park, took foot off brake and let it sit there for 10 minutes...Car idle was better than ever. Car does not die on idle. I NEVER NEEDED TO CHANGE A FUEL PUMP! That is a BIG LIE that got spread by auto mechanics who want to rip you off! THEY ARE NOT CHANGING YOUR FUEL PUMP. They are doing exactly what I just did because that's the REAL problem is your battery, NOTHING ELSE and you need to reset ECU.
