If it's shutting off while driving why would u replace starter. Sounds like an issue with electrical wiring. Check the bottom of fuse box for broken, loose or corroded wires. Check all harness plugs to make sure they're not loose

I was just saying i put a new starter on a few months ago so that cant be why it womt start..

I put in a 02 senor in backstream and it still stalls out. I have bought one and it still does it. So could you tell me what is wrong with this.

I have put in 2 02 senors in and now one is bad i know i have replace it will it stop stalling
