I am going to attempt to explain this problem I am having with a 96 mustang.
Issue:
The car will die randomly but will start back up. Upon starting back up it will die again after bogging down. If the car is left sitting alone for about 30 mins it will start back up and run but the moment you attempt to place it in 1st gear and let off the clutch it dies. And then promptly repeats the process of not running. The CEL is on for Left and right bank O2 sensors but has been replaced and cleared. Sometimes the car will run for weeks without this but it has happened 2-3x in the past two days leaving it stranded. I have absolutely no idea what it could be and am asking for any advice. Someone suggested the catalytic converters but am not sold on that idea yet. Any input is appreciated.
Background on the car:
* V6 3.8 with 5 speed manual
* Head gaskets were done about 6 months ago.
* Thermostat was replaced about 2 months ago.
* O2 sensors were replaced but CEL remains on.
* It seems to happen on hot days but this could be unrelated
