Default 99 Disco II Starts, drives about 3 miles, dies in flight. Wont start again.
I was told to replace the o2 sensor. Any other suggestions? I just bought it and it only ran for 4 days.

Is the check engine light on? Get the codes & then diagnose it properly. O2 sensors will not make a vehicle just up and die. Sounds more like a failing/INOP CPS.

I’ve experienced this. CPS is an excellent place to start, I changed mine and haven’t had this problem since. Easy and cheap fix.

CPS(Crank Position Sensor), if your problem is that it will only drive cold it is CPS I you have someone with small hands it help. The hardest part of getting that sensor is actually getting your hand up to it to pull it.

I vote CPS also, mine would go 11 miles before dying. 20-40 minute wait and it would start and go 11 miles and die. Repeat.
