Exclamation Need help please

So just now a couple of minutes ago I turned my car on. As I'm driving almost half way home. The car turns off after it turned off the car started to stall. As I continue to drive it keeps stalling and it's lost power it doesnt run normal and it turns off any idea what this could be? I have 00 GS 300. Thanks any input would be helpful.

Start with the usual suspects. Check that the engine is getting air, fuel and a spark.

One of my other cars would stall after a heavy rainfall because some water gets into the air intake.

I think you have your crack sensor mixed up with your crack pipe....hahaha I kid i kid

Anyway, OP check your battery, and check your intake and MAF sensor....see if any hoses or connections are loose or disconnected. after that give the entire engine a look over the same way. Are you getting any check engine lights or anything?
