hoping this latest 'incident' is related to the 'long overdue to be changed O2 sensor, but can't because of the the foot of snow still in my driveway'...have all the parts and tools needed...

so..running errands around town..car had started and run fine until...stopped at the barber for about half an hour..upon startup, car shuddered, what I'll call the 3rd gear light blinked 3x, then car shutoff...did this two more times...finally got it to start, and run seemingly normally, and got home without incident..sensor change looong overdue, but my driveway is my work space, and Mother Nature has not been kind to us outdoor mechanics here in Central NY...and forecaster predicting another 8 to 12" this week...hoping sensor change will address all of this...

Again, many many thanks to all who help

on a budget, and want to keep my ride going for many more miles...

Tom

    The next time that critter quits, get under the hood and check to see that you have pressure at the Fuel Injection rail. You could have a funky fuel pump issue.

    Do you mean the up shift arrow blinked? That means that the tranny has a problem, usually speed sensor related or the PNP switch is getting worn.

    The next time that happens, row your shifter from R to L about 20 times without the engine running. If the rowing helps, suspect the PNP switch needs to be replaced when it gets warmer and the snow melts.

    Remember, a bad O2 sensor will cause the engine to run rich.

    Keeping it running is better than buying new
