We were driving the car and it seemed to cut out and then stopped all together, we had to pull to the side of the road to get it started again.
We checked the charging system and it is working good, the only thing I saw under the hood was the air box has a sensor in it and it was not plugged all the way in. Any ideas?

Any sensors not plugged in correctly can result in performance and stalling issues. Did problem recurs after sensor was installed correctly? Get a scan done to check for trouble codes and let us know what trouble code is recorded.

Hello ANDREWREALLIFE,

If you decide you would like to conduct the scan yourself here is a link to an article from this site that features written step by step instructions and pictures explaining how to do the scan yourself. Also, I have included a link to our YouTube channel with a how to video on code scanning.

This is applicable even if your check engine light is not on.

Most scanners are inexpensive to purchase, you can purchase one online from sites like Amazon.com
