My car seems to start fairly normal when the engine is cold. If the car gets warm and I stop somewhere for a few minutes and try to crank it back it cranks for a second and then dies. The only way to keep it running is to hold my foot on the gas. Also the other day I turned into my driveway and the car just died with my foot on the clutch. Other than that it seems to run fine. What could be causing this? since the issue just started could it still be a tuning issue?

A little info on the car (whipple installed and tuned in Jan)
2003 cobra
Whipple 2.3
63lb injectors
Ford gt pumps
Mac pro chamber
Borla stingers

Could be alot of things. Could be in the tune, clean MAF, clean IAC and check for vac. leaks.

That was my first thought. However I thought when they went bad then the car wouldn't crank at all. Yesterday afternoon I unhooked the frps and it cranked and ran fine but my fuel pressure was a lot higher than when it is hooked up.

Crank means the starter is turning the engine over.

I think you mean the engine did not fire at all, which could still be possible if a bunch of extra fuel is pumping in through the vacuum lines.
