This is very strange.....DSM's have rock solid wiring harnesses and rarely have running issues....

you may also want to try a different MAF.

Get a log of your car running.

Trace the power to the ECU, see if it cust out after you turn it on.

Good luck

This cant be it because if he says that when the car dies and not only does the engine kill but the gauge cluster and cluster lights go off then it has to be an issue with the ecu or power supplying the ecu. It cant be any car sensor.

after talking to him on the phone, what he told me was that the oil gauge and tach dies.

I think this is not a symptom at all, at idle, put your car in 5th, release clutch, tach and oil pressure dies.

The lights to the gauges stay on, the car stays "on" but the engine isnt running.

This is completely different from a complete BCM failure.

I know switching MAF's probably won't fix it, but chances are this is a sensor issue, and it is easy to replace.

This made me laugh a little.
