Ok hoping to get some kind of answer from here have tried everything. Here is the problem check engine light is on and has been for the longest time had car checked and code said I needed to replace the mass air sensor so I did then it said I needed a new catlystic converter replaced that the code went back to air sensor replaced that yet again now when it is plugged in the car stalls and the light is still on :( when we unplug the air sensor the light still stays on but the car doesnt stall I'm at a loss at what to do.

What is the code number now showing?

Pulling a code does NOT mean a specific part is bad, but narrows down the area to be tested or at the very least a self test failure was noted for a specific set of parameters.
