My Car starts just fine but after it runs for a while it just shuts off. But when I go to start it again it starts but then it just won't stay running. I was thinking it was the fuel pump or the fuel injectors.

Have you checked the air intake tube and boot? If ANY crack exists it will cause the problem you described. Please let me know.

I just replaced the air intake, but when I start driving the gas peddle feels harder to push then it use to be and he car starts kick while in motion.

Have you have a tune up lately? If the engine is cross firing it will cause the problem you have described.
