I have 96 Nissan Sentra GXE standard. It starts

I have 96 Nissan Sentra GXE standard. It starts fine, but last week it sputtered and stopped will driving. Mechanic recvd codePO100, cleaned mass air flow and throttel body. Worked good for a couple of days. It now starts, but, is again cutting off before getting out of my driveway. The check engine light comes on this time, where it did not when it first stopped last week. It has 170,000 miles, but I have been the only driver and it is still in good shape. Help!

    Thank you for your suggestion Idare_ya. I actually had to get a new mass airflow sensor circuit. It is working fine now. I don't remember the last time the sparks plugs were changed or checked, so i'll try to head that one off. Thanks a bunch.

Have the battery tested and the alternator tested, the other issue may have a code stored to help point in the right direction, at that many miles things are bound to wear out.
