All of a sudden my car lost all power acceleration and shut off when I went from a stop to pushing on the gas pedal and going from a stop sign. I just changed the camshaft position sensor bank one I believe. Which has made my car run better since then period but 3 days ago car shut off at a stop sign. I can turn it on. But as soon as I put it into gear. I lose all RPM's and the car sputters and shuts off. I did a check all of my fluids are good and full. I just had an oil change done about a month and a half ago. I did a check around my car. And there are two tail pipes side by side. One is not having any air out. Please help me.

Okay. We need to start with finding out what happens with the basic engine operations. Let's start with a compression test.

Then we need to check fuel pressure.

Lastly here is a guide that will help with what we are trying to do:

Once we get the basic engine operations and what they are doing we will know what may be happening and we can go in that direction.
