Hey,

I had a similiar problem - came back from vacation, car battery died. Did a jump start - after car would randomly shake while revs would go up and down and suddenly it would die. Went on for a couple of weeks - i tried everything, disconnecting the battery etc... this is what I did.

1. Changed Battery (Battery was low and after change, car still sputtered and died)
2. Fuel Pump (Fuel pump was running lean --> after car still sputtered and died)
3. Changed Mass Air Flow Sensor - now car drives like a dream.

It probably is the mass air flow sensor. Buy a bosch one or buy a cheap on ebay - whatever, it's probably the problem.

Had a similiar problem with another car years ago --> MAF's are evil.
