Default Why won’t my 2003 impala stay running

I have a 2003 impala with 3.8 it will cold start and idle smooth for about 3 to 5 minuets then hesitates and shuts off. If i push the accelerator peddle i can get it to restart but wont stay running it does not back fire but thes a bad smell coming from it when you try to restart it. I have been trying different things with this car all weekend replace fuel filter air filter mass airflow sensor and ignition coil. There are no e codes there is fuel pressure although not sure how much since i do not have a gauge not sure where to go from here.

Might be a plugged cat since it "smells". MAF sensor won't keep it from running, although "crappy". Fuel pressure I don't know but more than 45 psig?
