So my car wont start.

So my car wont start.
Ok so I have a 99 Miata with virtually no mods, the only "mod" it has is the over clocked ecu and the cat has been hollowed out.
Ok on with the problem, it just started today about an hour ago. When I go to give it almost any amount of gas it wants to cut out. I replaced the plugs, fuel filter about a year ago and i just replaced the fuel pump like 4 months ago. If I slowly give it gas it will rev up but any abrupt throttle increase and it cuts out, not stumbles but just cuts out. Also when I go to start it it wants to stumble when starting. It idles kinda high at first but then it will go down to a normal idle and sit there perfectly.
Any ideas?

so you overclocked your ECU, which should lean the mixture, then unplugged your MAF so the engine doesn't know how much fuel to compensate with?
What's the temps like is GA, based on your "smelling fuel" statement, you're probably flooding it since the ECU doesn't know the intake temps and the correct amount of fuel to inject....it probably fails to 60*F.
and doesnt the MAF drive the alternator?

Also it somehow is running right now, i dont know how or what happened but i would like to try and figure it out. mainly because if it happened once it will happen again and saying "oh well it went away" is not a solution to me.
