Code 12

Distributor recently changed

Car died while coming to a spot at a friend's house. Took 3 cranks to get it running. Then died while coming to a stop sign 25ft from my friends house. Then in front of my house. This time tried cranking but no go. Got it kick started and let idle for 5mins. Then tried to rev the engine a bit in the engine bay, car didnt rev and died. Car was pushed into the garage and didnt start for 5mins. Tried 5 times cranking the ish and the 5th time it started with a low 400rpm idle for about 30secs and then went back to normal. I let the car run for about 3 mins while waiting for Herosblade to drive down and revved the car high, low, and medium rpm range. This time the car didnt shut off.

thoughts??

**problem came back, but i have new experiences

K that didnt solve the problem i just got lucky. with my new experiences now i have a better idea when the problem comes about.

Engine starts no problem when cold, but once the engine is warmed up that's when the idle drops and the car dies. After this I wasnt able to start the car again even with me fooling around with connections.

Now in my garage i warmed the car up then came back and gave the engine gas-------car doesnt stall
Gave it more revs are diff rpms to make sure that wasnt a fluke. This seems good.
Now coincidentally my dad touchs the oil pressure sensor and the car dies (no throttle given)
So i take out the sensor connector and shoot electronic cleaner (like brake cleaner but wont harm plastic)----Car starts (problem solved or a fluke?)
Well.......that was a fluke, car is running regular idle then a little gas was given and car dies. wtf?!?!?!
Car started right away again. My dad and I kept re-creating what we did to make the car die. No go car runs and didnt die out. So i turn off the car and call it a night.

Thoughts??? Next thing I should check is the igniter near the brake master cylinder on the firewall. Might have to drive out with Herosblade's igniter and drive in circles around the neighborhood until the car dies. Then carefully remove my igniter and install his. If the car starts and dont die Igniter is my problem (wont know till i try) If I still stall and die I'm lost

So would a faulty oil pressure sensor cause the car to shut off?? Also those 3 sensors at the end of the radiator hose, would they cause the car to shut off?? Other than that those were the only things my dad and I touched that caused the car to shut off at warmed temp.
