Took it to AutoZone didn't see the codes but the kid said O2 sensor and 3 others popped up about tranny but not sure about the other codes , he said it was the first sensor on the exhaust
It is possible the O2 is bad, but there is usually a underlying problem, like a intake manifold leak. I would at least suggest to snug the bolts up, its probably running rich.
Ok thanks I will check those , might take back and have write down codes too. Thanks again
It starts runs for a minute and dies out I change the fuel pump spark plugs battery and still the same
Did you scan it for trouble codes or trouble shoot any of those parts before changing them? Spend some time/money on proper diagnostics first. That will save you a ton of money and when you're done you'll have a car that runs instead of one that doesn't. With that said, is it possible its your security system shutting the car down?
