Default 08 sg dies

Hey everyone I have an 08 sg and was out for a ride and wide open throttle at 4 k rpm it’s like someone hit the kill switch and had to pull over and crank the hell out of it to get it going again... no codes and fuel pump was running while cranking

runs good cruising and starts good when it doesn’t die

checked fuel filter and lines seems good

im thinking crank sensor as it did this 3 years ago and ended up being the crank sensor

any thoughts?

Have you checked and cleaned the connector under the fuel tank behind the throttle body?

That is a common problem with symptoms like you have.
