Default 350z Keeps Dying On Me :(

So far this has happened three times.

First time i stopped on exit ramp waiting for light to turn green and car died, i restarted and everything was fine, no check engine lights no nothing.

Second time was stopped at a red light. This time after restarting check engine light, tcs off light, slip light was all on. after turning car back off and re starting only check engine light was on.

Third time sitting in a parking lot and it just died and just the check engine light came on.

Mods engine wise is just jwt intake. But this sarted happening this week and about 4 months after intake install. No changes to car have been made recently and no recent work done to car. Just random.

I checked the battery and its good, checked alternator and its good, full tank of gas. I'm thinking either a fuel problem or possibly throttle positioning sensor. I'm going wednesday to get it checked out.

Any ideas what this could be?

Thanks

i would say throttle position sensor too...pop the intake off the throttle body and spray some carb cleaner in there...that might help if it is the tps...
