The car starts but quickly dies down, so I usually rev it a couple times and it stays on. But today it just keeps dying down, even when I rev it. It dies down like if it stalled, but it's an automatic. Somebody said they had the same problem and it was some sensor that he had to get replaced....also I know I've needed an oil change for a while but I don't imagine that would cause this. Any ideas? Thanks.
