Crappy idle followed by stalling out

Car will not idle for the life of it and within a minute of trying to idle it will turn off and cant get it rolling either.
could it be a vacume leak?

double check for vacuum leaks, like the vacuum hose to your fuel regulator, the seals around the injectors. you may try another mass air flow sensor. gl

I only had half of this issue, with the crappy idle, but was intermittent. Hope the MAS fixes this for you. Good luck.
