Have you checked the fuel pump for any blockage? The car isnt getting any gas unless u manually pump it by pressing the pedal.. So start there Sometimes when a engine requires excessive revving and throttle to stay afloat its a fuel supply problem. A clogged filter for example can be overcome with excessive throttle that drives the fuel pressure up enough to force it through, but it will barely trickle at idle and stall.
Usually the dead give away for fuel pump is when someone complains they have to floor it as soon as it turns over or it will die right away.

Could be a long list of things, starting with the shutdown relay. This relay powers the coil, injectors, and computer. You would need to put a meter on the coil or the injectors and watch to see if power is lost when the engine dies.

if you can get the car started again and with someone helping you have them take the positive side of the battery cable off while it is running and if it dies then it is the alternator also check your drive belt and when was the last time it was changed because it could be slipping
it could be the fuel pump not working right. you can buy an electric one and put on there and it will tell you right away if your original fuel pump is dead
