Car was fine went on a trip car started to stall and lose power, car dies after five minutes car starts up goes about 3miles does same thing. No power going up hills. Gas smell from tailpipe. Idles rough now and hesitates on take off. Oil light comes on when idling. Threw engine light had it put on computer says o2. Had cad converter checked ok, changed o2, changed spark plugs and wire, checked iac ok, checked pcv ok changed hoses, put back on computer nothing. Had a mechanic to check he says he does not know what is going on. Seems to happen if vehicle is running awhile or in hot part of the day. Please help don't know what else to do

Check fuel pressure with a gauge autoparts rent it. Also clean throttle plate on both sides and iac hole.

The mechanic did check fuel pressure, he said it was good. Also forgot to mention we change fuel filter and pump. Sorry did not put that in original post. We have not cleaned the throttle plates. Thank you for the suggestion because I am don't know what else to do.

Also check intake vacuum if 15" or below suspect clogged converter clean battery terminal ends as that can cause screwy things with todays computers.
