replaced every single sensor that has to do with fuel and air. including both
oxygen sensors, mass air flow sensor, the sensor connected to the gas
pedal and a few others than I cannot recall the names of off the top of my
head. We replaced the coils and plugs twice and the fuel pump twice,

We took it to a shop to replace the computer and they told us it didn't need
the computer updated or replaced, that is was just the injector on bank 3. We
replace this and the car now stays running and doesn't die but it still
consistently spits and sputters. We ran premium fuel ( full tank) plus the fuel
