starts and idles for a few seconds then dives. Will start again but dies in second. Does not miss or idle rough. Have put a new fuel filter on and my grandson says the wires are attached to the o2 sensor. How would we check the fuel pump or test the o2 sensor? Or can it be something else. This happened after he drove through heavy snow. I have checked the air intake near the airfilter. Thanks JR

Check fuel pump pressure. Directions are on our homepage under the DIY section. Also, if the check engine light is on, have the computer scanned. Most parts stores will do it for free. However, this issue sounds fuel related.
