Also only starts for a second when I turn the key on and off a few times before I try to crank it, the fuel pressure regulator was leaking last year but one day it ust stop leaking so I didn't changed it. I'm thinking maybe is something very wrong with the regulator and it only starts for a second when the fuel punp build enough pressure in the fuel rail, as soon as the inyectors start taking gas the pressure drops and the car quit. I need a fuel pressure gauge before messing with the computer those things are expensive.
Any one knows if a fuel pressure regulator failure gives any DTC codes?

It is having a problem with intermittent stalling.
I replaced the spark plugs and cleaned the idle air control motor. It didn't stall for a week..then started stalling again.
I replaced the idle air control motor. It didn't stall for a week.
I replaced a defective vacuum line from the throttle body to the map sensor and replaced the fuel filter. It didn't stall for about two weeks....thought I had found the problem.
It is back to stalling....several times a week. 75% of the time it stalls when it has been driven a short distance....perhaps a few miles....so the engine is warmed up...shut off....come back 10 minutes later....like after running into a store...when she restarts it, puts it in gear, steps on the gas to go....it stalls. Usually, it restarts no problem.
25 % of the time it stalls after a cold start....brief warm up...put it in gear to back up....and stalls.
Any suggestions?
If the car is running and the gas cap is removed, you immediately notice the engine running rough. We have replaced the gas cap, and one time we could not get it restarted, towed to garage and they could find nothing wrong with the fuel system, changed the spark plugs. Once we had to crank it so many times we killed the battery, bought a new battery, Already has a new fuel filter, Any ideas?
