Ok the code from the check engine light is o2 o2 sensor and it at one time gave a code for a map sensor but it was only onces i did this test 4 times and fot o2 all 4 times. So would the o2 cause the car to shut down and start back.
And now its doing it alot its getting hard to drive.

oxygen sensor is responsable for fuel flow to the injectors the engine could be flooding out disconnect negitive cable only reset code back to computor run value , and see if engine will runs if it does for a little while then goes back stalling then change o2 sensor change it anyway.your discription sound like flooding.map sensor is for idle in stop mode will not cause this problem.

ok one more thing i just found the egr valve is missing its electrical egr transducer. I quess they tryed to bypass it. Would this cause the car to die like that? at first it ran and never did that now it dies and if this is the reason then i ask why?
