I have recently replaced the APP Sensor on my car. They told me this has been leading to other more serious problems in my type of car. Well just the other day my car just shut off as I was driving like I ran out of gas. I was able to start it back up and had 1/4 tank of gas. Could this be related?

No. I haven't taken it in yet. I wanted to know what I was expecting before I take it in so I don't get screwed. The service engine light did not come on after the car just shut off while driving down the road. Do you know what could cause the car to just shut off like that?

A lot of different thing's that's why I asked you if you had any code's. Go to a auto part's store like auto zone and have them read your code's and let me know what the exact number's are and I can tell you more.
