Have a 1994 chevy suburban changed wires cap rotor ignition coil plugs no spark to plugs disturbed turns was driving home it sputtered than died well crank no start help only car I got

02 sensor is not you main problem.
Have you got good spark and fuel pressure when it acts up or quits?
Is it dead now or just acting up?

Pull the throtle body and replace the base gasket to start with.
Clear codes and see what comes back.

Check fuel pressure when it quits.
Post back fuel pressure readings.

Get some good repair info on the code for fuel pump relay and fuel pump and fuel pressure.
Let us know how it goes.

What causes loss of excelleration while driving

It sounds like either your fuel pump has quit or your fuel filter is badly plugged. If you crank it for a while and do not smell gasoline back at the exhaust, your fuel pump has probably quit.

91 4runner not running on 1,3,&#4

Seems like you replaced everything on the ignition but the cap. Sounds like a good place to look to me.
Look for burn marks around contacts.

I have a 1999 niassan maxima that cuts off while i am driving,and i would have to pull over immediately. Sometimes it starts back up and then there are times where i would have to wait awhile before it...

i believe it is going to be the ignition control module if no check engine light is on giving a different code. if light is on it might give a crank sensor or cam sensor code. i would check the module first

Starts but quits

If the engine starts and then quits when you release the key to the ON position it could be the anti-theft systemhas locked out. Turn your key to the ON position and wait ten minutes until the ANTI-THEFT light on the dash board goes out. The car will now start and run if that was the problem.

Fule pump

I bet you frequently run the truck very low on fuel if so you killed the fuel pump when you replace this pump its a good idea to use only a genuine AC DELCO FACTORY pump because the vortec engine needs a MININUM of 60 PSI fuel pressure to start
