Car not starting/ Not staying on!! Help

So my car died on me 3 days ago while idling in a drive through and it would not turn back on. I've been able to turn the car on 4 times and drive it once since then but every time it has died after about 15 min. 2 times I was able to turn it on my jumping it. Once with the old battery and once with a new battery, another time it was by disconnecting the MAF Sensor and the 4th time was random. While the car was on it idled smooth and when I drove it, it also drove smooth until WOT, the car bogged hard when I tried to do that.

Any advise is helpful

Probably a fuel pump. You need to check the codes to know.

No codes, both fuel pumps are brand new after market pumps I have been using for 3 months

You have an aftermarket LPFP? I wonder if you fried the EKP module or it's bugging out.
