Hi ron6383,

What happens after it cuts off? Can it be restarted?

Is there any check engine light showing?

Hi ron6383,

If the sensor had been replaced with a different type, it could cause difficult starting, misfiring, poor acceleration and idling.

Check the code again and see what it is.

Your problem could be an O2 sensor or throttle position sensor fault.
