Sounds like the alternator has bad diodes. Does it then start back up?

You have O2 Sensor Codes

I believe you have a bad fuel pump,
thus low pressure and the O2 Sensors,
set a lean fault code

Check fuel pressure at the rail when you turn
the key to start or it is running

Changing spark plugs is something that
never has to be done to find out what issues
you have.
You could throw away a couple and it should start

Also NO Parts EVER get Changed until
TESTED and found to be bad

Missing and engine light goes on and off temp Gage

do not drive it with a flashing light. that means a severe missfire is detected and cat converter failure is likely.also the possibility of fire caused by the red hot exaust is a good possibility.i would check the common causes first, spark plugs, plug wires. have codes pulled or by a cheap code puller at somewere like shucks/autozone/harbor freight etc.that will narow it down to wich cylinder[s] are effected plus nowadays its just somethimg you have to have.
