My car drives fine when driving in the city, but as soon as I hit the expressway and get to about 45-50 mph it suddenly stops accelerating as if it ran out of gas. It slows down and stops then shakes and turns off. I changed the oil pressure sensors and nothing comes up on the computer. Any idea what it could be?

Foul/defective spark plugs.
Open spark plug wires.
Ignition coil/Coil packs defective.
