Unhappy 02 Cavalier Trac Off light then died

I had just filled the gas tank and drove 3 miles when the trac off light came on and car felt like it wobbled a little (thought I had a flat but didn't). Within the next mile the car died and won't restart. Had to have it towed home. Hubby tried starter fluid in the intake, car will start but when gas pedal applied it dies . Auto Zone says there are 3 oxygen sensors but we don't know which one is needed because it won't start for diagnosis.
Would this cause the Trac Off light to come on?

What else could be causeing these problems?

Any help would be appreciated

Re: 02 Cavalier Trac Off light then died

if the car will run with fuel added then you could have a bad fuel pump.check further with more fuel as the pedal is pushed open and the car should run faster.be careful with the fuel test..... warning:sparks from plugs, back fires.
also you do not have to have vehicle running to read codes just to get it to store so they can .... spend the money and get a cheapy scan tool and a book particular to your car. All vehicles 1996 and later us the scan tool you can always sell on e-bay if you no longer need or return to store for credit
