Then about an hour later im backing up to fit in a space and boom the car dies. Then once again the car dies as I leave a parking space later in the day.

is your check engine light on? Usually if the MAS sensor goes, the CEL comes on.

Thanks for your help! Actually the CEL light didnt turn on to my surprise therefore I guess it needs a new fuel pump. I guess that would fix the problem.

yes, I was going to mention that next, the fuel system...could be something restricting the gas being pumped into the engine therefore cutting you off.

let us know how you make out with that.
