Default Car died this weekend!!!! *update*

Yep that's right. I was driving around town this weekend and on saturday I went to a couple cell phone places. I get in my car start it up and drive away, as I pull up to the drive way to pull onto the street my car sputters bucks, check engine light comes on and then it just died. Tried to start it wouldn't kick over just kind of sputtered out everytime. I pushed my car out of the way sat there for about 20mins checking in the engine bay for any noticable problems and couldn't see anything. After about a half hour I of trying to start it it finally kicked over and I was able to drive it home, thank god I hit everygreen light and did not have to stop once. On the drive home it was surging (I thinkg that's what it called) kind of a irratic gassing it letting off type of feeling even with my foot still on the gas pedal. The boost guage needle jumps all over the place yet the RPMS stay normal when this happens. When I got home I let my car run and the RPMS were going up and down at idle and my car was making a kind of sputtering tiny backfiring noise out the exhaust. So I don't know what's wrong with my car it sucks. I think it's a combination of a few things. One a boost leak or the ECU or MAFS. Now Roberts gone in Hawaii for 2 weeks awesome huh I am not going to contiue to drive my car because I don't want to break down some where. If anyone has any insight to what they might think it is or have had any similar problems feel free to jump in and troubleshoot.
