I have a 2000 grand am 3.4 L. It started shutting off on me while driving down the road. At first it would start back up shortly after. After a few times it didnt start back up so i replaced the fuel filter since i can hear the fuel pump turn on. It started back up and i got it home. Next day it shut off again but fired back up after a couple minutes. Next day it shut off and would not start back up. I towed it home and replaced the crank sensor. Fired up drove it around. Problem solved.....negative. Two days later i went to go to work and it would not start. I replaced the sensor again thinking maybe the one i got was faulty... still no go. I've tried leaving the key on because i heard about the security lock issues. Still nothing. Putting in on a tester shows a bad o2 sensor. Would that cause this problem? Any ideas would be great. I don't like to just throw money into something without an idea of what the problem may be.

The engine light is on and the only code you get refers to the O2 sensor? Have you done a fuel pressure test? The link below leads to a series of articles on testing GM ignition systems.
