Oxygen sensor was replaced 3 weeks ago which may be coincidental. Now the car stops running mid driving or when coming to a stop. It starts up as usual. The dealer could find nothing wrong with it when hooked up to computer. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Alice Flood

Hi Alice,

What is the idling speed? If idling speed is low, it would stall when stopped.

You mentioned the engine stalled while driving, does that mean while cruising or when accelerator is released?
