What code is it? Too assume it's just an O2 sensor could lead to ugly results.

Was the car completely out of fuel when it died at the stop sign? If so, you could have gotten air into the pump and it is having a hard time priming again.

If you don't know the code then it's really hard to say. You should know what codes it's spitting out, make a note, and not let people just clear them. I assume it will turn over. How did you check the spark and fuel?
