It's the AFM (air flow meter, check archives) resistor
having an erratic connection, causing erratic signals
to the ECU (engine computer) which turns off the motor
immediately thinking there's a major fault, e.g. a car
crash (air stopped flowing means car has stopped
suddenly), to prevent a fire or other possible
hazzards.

A safety feature that's vulnerable to a common part
mechanical failure.

Ok. Thanks for the suggestion.
Good luck!
