Default Bad Sensor?

Hi, i'm new here and need some help. I'm not used to computer controlled motors...anyway, I am looking at 3rd and 4th gen camaros and found this 4th gen near me. The guy said it has a "bad sensor so it sometimes cuts off while driving." Anybody know what would cause this?

could be many things from plugs and wires to opti, ignition modual, coil, maf, and im sure theres more. ask him if there are any trouble codes stored, if so what are they. welcome to the forum, u should do a intro of yourself on the new member page.

I think that would be a really good price on that car. I would buy it and figure it out. It would be hard to find a 6 speed with a good body like that, that cheap.

Seems like it's a reasonable price, but the unnamed sensor is a little concerning. It could cause many headaches. If you're handy with cars you can probably come out with a good deal, but if you have someone else do your repairs I would pass it up.

Yeah, I'm sure i could work it out, I just don't have any more money to get it on the road right away. This would be a newer car to drive every day and replace my current DD. So I'm really just looking for the right deal to come along, and this looks pretty close. Feel free to add more comments

DANG!! I thought my car was a pretty good deal at 2k and had been ran into a mailbox and needed a front bumper and some minor body work. Sounds like a pretty good deal if you have mechanical abilities and some free time.
