be more specific about engine lights. So like, charge, check engine, etc.? basically when an engine stumbles and dies you're either not getting enough fuel, spark, or sometimes you get too much fuel and it floods out.

oh yes and is it throwing a code? I'd almost say replace O2 sensor at this point.

If you are able start it up and it idles fine, I don't suspect spark to be an issue. Since it dies when you accelerate, it sounds more like it isn't getting enough air down the intake. Have you checked the simpler things like the air filter or the AFM? How about your exhaust? Any chance your catalytic converter or muffler is clogged?
