Check engine light came on. Then the car started dying if I had been going a good speed then slowed (like to take a corner). Sometimes would start right back up if I just punched the gas. Sometimes it will NOT accelerate. It will be going 5 m.p.h. and on the verge of dying even with my gas pedal to the floor. Then sometimes it surges ahead, but then will jerk very violently until it finally dies again. I took it to the shop and they said it was Mass Air Flow Sensor and Throttle Position Sensor. I replaced both of those (me and my Dad replaced them), but it's still doing the same thing.
