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.
