Default Help- Car Won't Run

1998 Z28 Camaro 140,000 miles

I was driving on the highway doing about 60 and went to pass someone and as I hit 70 the car started bucking so I got out of it and it ran fine at 60, I drove a lil bit and tried again and the same thing happen. I was on my way to friends house, I got off highway and made it there and the car ran fine. I was there a hour, left and headed home. Hit the highway and car did the same thing, I made it to 1/4 mile from my house and the cut off on me. I limped it home by starting it four times and barely getting it there. The CEL came on and threw every oxygen sensor code. The car starts everytime but revs real high at first then then just idles down and shuts off and won't stay running. I try to give it gas it just has no response. Has anyone seen this or any recommendations before I just start throwing parts at it lol.

Thanks for any help.

check the fuse that's labeled ENG SENS or SES can't remember. It's the fuse for all four sensors and your MAF. Not sure if you had the MAF code too but I would look into it. Its a 20A fuse and its a quick, cheap test. Replace that fuse and clear the codes and see what happens. Mine didn't act THAT bad with the fuse blown but it does run pretty rough.
