Did you get a MAF code? My car is doing something similar to yours and I have a MAF code.

Re: 3.8l Engine died

if you all didn't know, you can get an aerosal cleaner for MAF sensors for a few bucks at an auto store, 90% of time a sensor that throws a code just needs to be cleaned. I tell you with all the stories I read on thsi board I am sold on just taking my car to a mechanic when I dont know what's wrong with it. Cross my fingers on my 2000, now at 89,000 miles since I bought it with 3,000 and it's never had to see a mechanic except for maintenance.

no my car wouldn't stay running long enough to throw a code but i did have a 02 code but i also don't have an exghust cuz im broke and i think that is causing my 02 sensor to be going off
