Hi i have a 96 elcipse gs-t
recently somehow my o2 sensor came on pluged from under my car and i drove it for about 25 miles and then my car just stalled and i could turn the car on and drive about 4 miles an hour but it wouldnt go above 1500 rpms.
so i changed the 02 sensor and cleaned the spark plugs and then i tried driving it again and for some reason the car still ran bad and would not get above 1400 rpms, and blowing a lot of black smoke out the exhaust. so i used a dignostic and the codes said i had a: P100, P105, P110, ALL CAME UP AFTER I CHECKED IT. SO I WAS WANDERING IF ANYONE NEW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR OR WHAT SENSOR IS BAD.
THANKS ALOT
I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THE HELP !!

Disconnect the battery for 10 minutes or so and try again. That will reset the ECU. It may just still be thinking that there's an issue and causing itself to shut down for safety.

i tried disconecting the battery and reconnecting it but it still has the same problem and i cleaned the spark plugs because they keep getting fuel on them.
i think it could be the VAF sensor or the IAT sensor, what do you guys think
Thanks for all the help!!
I really appreicate it!!

P.S i planned on buying (changing) the housing for cold air intake that has all three sensors in it: VAF, IAT, AND BAROMETRIC SENSOR $220.00
THANKS AGAIN
