Are you losing electrical power, or engine power? Electrical power loss can be from a bad battery, bad alternator, or faulty cable connection. Loss of engine power can be from a lot of things - such as a loss of fuel pressure from a bad fuel pump or bad fuel filter or regulator. Do you have a check engine light on the dash? As to the oil filler, there should be a cap with an oil can label on it (or it could just say "oil"). It will likely be along the valve cover (top of the engine).

Hello Ken....Yes my engine light is on.... i got it checked and it needs a airflow sensor which im going to get tomorrow ....when i turn my car on and pull off it dies but my battery light comes on and the light that that looks like a gravy pourer...i put it in park and turn the ignition off and crank it right back up and it drives fine....also I took it to advanced to get it tested and my battery, alternator, and starter checked out good

Dash warning lights (battery, oil pressure, check engine) would come on if an engine stalls, doesn't mean those are responsible for the engine stalling. To figure out what IS stalling the engine, you need to have the OBD trouble codes read, which you have done. Now, since you post it's an airflow sensor, try cleaning it before going to the expense of replacing it. There is a "mass airflow sensor cleaner" spray at any auto parts store. The MAF sensor is a wire, visible inside the throttle body. Other types of cleaners can damage it, as well as touching it. So if you haven't already replaced it, try cleaning it first.

Yes my sensor hose for my air flow sensor has a rip on it its visisble so could that be the cause of why it cuts off like i was explaining in the previous message?
