Check engine is not always on when it dies. Had a check engine light test done said my ETC was bad so I replaced car is still dies.

Reduced engine power is the fly by wire system failing. It requires replacing either the throttle boby or pedal sensor or both. Common issue.

I would resolve this issue first before looking at any other system
