    Default Car shutting off

    My brother has a 97 accord, and around 1000 rpm to 2000 rpm the car will sputter and shut off while driving. I have to give it gas over 2000 rpm to have the car running. It does backfire too from time to time. CEL light is on for 02 sensor but thats always been on for a while now. help!

    won't hurt anything, but it will be loud as all hell.
    Who knows?
