asked by on February 13, 2018

The car was working fine and all of a sudden it started shutting off while idling. Did an oil change because I figured it was that and still have the same problem. Some days its worse than others? I got Codes P0175 & P0420 when hooking it up to the diagnostic tool.

My car has 194000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
