2001 Mitsubishi Galant w/133k miles and very well taken care of cut off on the freeway and I pulled over and waited 1 min and it started back up. Doesn't seem to do it on City streets. 1 Answer

It doesn't have a check engine light but autozone checked it and it said o2 sensor zone 1 and 1 or something similar. Would the O2 sensor cause it to die?
