the car died on me on the highway, got towed, it was trying to start but is acting like its not getting gas and the battery was low. changed the battery, fuel pump, fuel filter and it started up and ran around the block and then died while idling and now wont start. got 5 codes, two o2 sensors, random misfire, knock sensor and idle air control system, which i cant find on this site anywhere, i guess theres alot to the idle air control system and i dont which exact part to start with. so im hoping to get some good instructions on what to fix, some diagrams maybe.
