94 4runner....need help/ advice

Posts: 1 Hello all. I just bought 94 4runner with 190k but rebuilt @150k. The previous owner replaced almost everything. Engine, radiator, power steering pump, battery , ECU and a few more things. The issue I'm having is that it just dies unless I give it gas. It died on me twice while driving but restarted. I got it home and found 4 plug wires not snapped into to the distributor cap. I fixed that and it ran at idle for 10 minutes before I shut it off. I drove it today and it just dies and would not restart. At first when I got it home by tow, it started but would not stay on at idle. Now it won't start at all. Turns over but no start. Any ideas? I was thinking the old school alarm may have ignition kill, fuel pump or one of the many expensive sensors. Any help is appreciated

fyi for all: i replaced the coil and still nothing. I pulled off the MAF senor wires and it got spark and ran for about 3 seconds. Replaced the MAF sensor and now runs fine.
