Default problems with my daily driver

Any body familiar with dodge ? My 02 rt stratus started sputtering while driving yesterday. i shut it off and it started right back up. it ran fine without giving it any gas so i took it to a near shop where they told me i need a tune up and an ox sensor. problem is i just got a tune up april 2011. i went to pick up the car from the shop and it wouldnt start. any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated

Did they give you any codes? Check the O2s on a scanner if you can get ahold of one.
Iirc the car is a 30k plug interval

It could but could also just cause a misfire. I'd try and get a good scan tool that can stream info and see what's going on before you just start throwing parts at it
