Unhappy hesitation? turns off? PLEASE HELP

I turn on the car and idles fine, but once i put it in gear, i can drive about 2 mins and it hesistates, wants to turn off, and does. i turn it on, and drive, and it turns off again. SES light dont come on neither.

what do you guys think it could be? spark plugs?

and..the computer is programmed to the specified mods in it.
