The car will start great, but when you accelerate it shuts off. Start back up but repeats. It is throwing no codes at all. Help please.

Good afternoon.

I would start by testing the fuel pressure to see if proper pressure is being sent from the pump. If you have low pressure, it will idle but not go beyond that.

I guess I am asking what it could be if it is not giving any codes?

It will be mechanical.

What was the fuel pressure?
