Hey guys im running out of ideas just recently my 06 gt started to have a few problems then just stopped running all of a sudden right before it stopped it started missing real bad an backfiring an had a really rough idle so i had someone come check it out an they told me it was my fuel pump cause it hardly had any pressure an had backflow back into the tank.. So i replaced the fuel pump an filter an it fixed my fuel pressure problem but car still doesn't wanna start sometimes it will kick over for about 5 seconds but just dies out again and i know its getting fuel an spark so im clueless as to what else it could be i know a week before it just died it would have a small miss but would clear out in higher rpms im possibly thinking it could be the fuel pressure sensor or maybe crankshaft sensor but im not sure an dont have the money to just start guessing did have a code thrown but when i reset my computer it cleared it out an i cant keep the car running long enough for it to throw another code any ideas would be great an car has 133xxx miles if that helps

No commas, no full stops, and no capital letters to start a new sentence. I don't want to sound like a jerk but did you learn any grammar at school?
The DTC would have certainly helped us to troubleshoot your problem and it's too bad you deleted it.

The harder you make it to read and understand the less likely you’re going to receive the help you desire. So don’t be a douche to someone who tried to read that wall of text and be helpful.

The DTC would have been invaluable.

When u changes the pump, you replaced the entire assembly, sock and all? The filter was the inline filter that u replaced?

Is the car stock? How old are the plugs? Did u try to start it with the MAF unplugged ?

Grammar does matter and I lost interest in your post within the 1st two "pseudo'' sentences. Also, where the intro...another internet Google searcher who finds a vehicle forum, asks "one" question, gets car fixed for semi-free & bails.

Fix your grammar, do a proper intro., show some respect t other members & stick around a bit...maybe, just maybe, we'll throw you a bone. >.<

The poor grammar made your first post very confusing. You could try these measures:

1. Thoroughly clean the inside of the throttle body.
2. Gently clean the MAF sensor element with a suitable solvent.
3. Check the vacuum lines for any cracks/breaks/disconnections.
4. Check the wiring harness connections to the coils and injectors for proper contact.

Then try starting the engine again. If it doesn't fire up the first time, try again but with the accelerator pedal lightly depressed. If there's still no joy, disconnect the MAF sensor and give it a third try.
Let us know how it goes. Good luck.

Look i could understand if i misspelled or mistyped my words to confuse you to read a paragraph...... without comas an periods really... Its not that big of a deal im my opinion but whatever. Im just asking for some advice!!! If someone's gonna bash me about not using proper grammer id rather just not get a response at all.... But anyways no i haven't tried unplugging my maf sensor.... An car does have a few mods done has bbk longtube headers into a bbk xpipe with a cat delete, stage 2 nsr comp cams has jlt series 3 cai an has a dyno tune if this helps.. Thanks for anyhelp!

An yes when i replaced fuel pump i did the whole Assembly an a new fuel filter...

Even without the poor grammar, you also failed to mention those important facts.
I don't know what could have caused the MAF sensor to melt, but the header tube isn't far away and it could be radiating a lot of heat.
Replace the MAF sensor and wrap it with DEI Cool Tape.

Quite likely. If the car starts and runs better with the MAF disconnected, replace it.
Never mind. I saw in your other thread that you've already tried that and it made no difference, but I suggest you replace the MAF sensor anyway.
Have you tried all my other earlier suggestions?
One more thing. Make sure that the air filter is properly clamped to the JLT intake pipe, and make sure the intake pipe is properly sealed against the throttle body. With an aftermarket tune, the engine will be even more sensitive to unmetered air leaking past those those areas.
