Car turns off randomly?! 03 auto sedan

Recently my car has been shutting off on its own. Can be stopped or while in motion. Has new battery, new spark plugs, fuel filter, also there's no check engine lights. If anyone has any suggestions it would be appreciated

Well when the engine turns off all of the lights come on but there isn't a cel when the car is running. From now on I'll leave my navigation open so if the car turns off and there's a cel it will notify me

Positive, there's no cel, always the first thing I look for whenever there's a problem with any of my cars, I was thinking it could be mass air flow sensor but I think that would cause cel or the fuel pump , but I think if it was fuel pump it would just die not slowly go out

Another thing my girl just pointed out to me is it only happens when I'm slowing down with my foot off the accelerator

Yeah I'm thinking it could be fuel pump but not 100%. I always thought fuel pumps just go out rather than slowly die. Wish I had a cel so I knew what to fix

I've had this happen. Possible solutions could be when was the last time you cleaned/changed your air filter and throttle body?
