You did not give motor size if 4 cyl.look on front of motor under hood towards back of engine you will see a black cap that has a thing that looks like a hex not it unscrews and filter element goes there.
It could be a number of things,These vehicles have a shut down built into computer system,any thing computer related that will cause damage will shut it down.Check for fuel,spark at the plugs.
It could be converter problem like #2 said,I would like to know if you aer trying to full throttle in park or neutral ,because it might be the rev limiter comming into play.
