Q: Check engine light

asked by on July 06, 2017

Car has been running rough. Took it to AutoZone for further assistance with the check engine light and it came up with a couple error codes. 1. Relay fan 2. Mass flo sensor 3. Crankshaft position sensor 4. O2 sensor 5. Purge solenoid and so far I've change all except the purge solenoid. Just today I've put on the o2 sensor and tried starting the car and it still acting funky. Unplugged the maf sensor and it fired right up and sounded great but soon as I plugged it back in the car started acting crazy and shut off.... I need help in assisting in this area someone.

My car has 150000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
