My car starts and will stay on idling, but if I push the gas pedal to 2000 rpm and lLet It go it shuts off, like it was not getting gas or not enough power. I noticed that my O2 sensor downstream is not connected. I changed my oil pump alternator and O2 sensor upstream is new.

Hey GE'Z,

There are a couple things that can cause this, vacuum leak, throttle bore service or an intake boot that is cracked. I will give you some guides for you to do to see if you can find the problem.

Please run some tests and get back to us.
