Was leaving the gym I hit the gas to get on the highway and it shut completely off. The transmission was like not shifting correctly and it completely shut off. Try to crank it up. It turned over but would not start. I notice that it was shifting harsh when I hit the gas. Like a sensor went out. Need help guys to find out what's wrong before I pick the wrong part.

Scan for codes and check fuel pressure with a gauge auto parts rent it.
