Default car shutting off

it's a 96 m/t 2.0, i can let the car idle 15-20mins nothing happens. if i try to drive it will die 2mins down the road. give it a few mins and it will crank up, and die again a few mins later. this is with or with out the ac running. the car is mostly stock, and it does not over heat, new water pump, head gasket, and thermostat. it has a after market muffler on it, dont know what kind came on the car when i got it. ****y one i do know that. any help would be great thanks

Is the CEL light coming on? Do you hear the fuel pump hum, when the key is turned to the ON position? Sounds like the crank sensor...

For what its worth, I replaced mine and that did not fix the stalling issue.
