The symptoms thet I'm getting with the car is as soon as I put the car under load(hit the gas) I get no response at all I literally had the pedal to the floor and the engine didn't rev at all it just shut down. My dad had thought that I had a compression issue at first but I really don't know what it could be, the car is at a shop right now and they are trying to figure out what the problem is. The guy said when he did some testing he found my 02 senors seemed to be workign but somethign is sending a mixed signal to them. Any help would be appreciated my car has been sitting for almost 6weeks now .

Actually it sounds like your cats are clogged or you are running way too lean, check fuel pressure response to engine load.
