Default Dieing?

96 eclipse RS 5 speed(gotta make the turd last) you know how it goes, you fix one thing something else pops up, well over the last 3 months I have fixed everything mechanically wrong with this car minus an exhaust leak. Now my car dies randomly at idle and at city speeds (45 mph and under) its fine at highway speeds, and it doesn't seem to matter if the car is hot or cold, and it probably does it once or twice every other day. There is no check engine light, there is no stored codes, and about the only thing I can think of is a crank position sensor starting to go bad? Any one know the problem or have any idea's?

sounds like you may have a vacuum leak in one of the lines or the intake manifold gasket. Or possibly the IAC. How well does the car idle?

it usually idles fine, sometimes its a bit low but jumps back up fairly quick

Rehung my exhaust and got around to hooking up a scan tool and watching the data stream basically all I got was O2 sensor 1 is way lean and O2 sensor 2 is very rich, the exhaust leak I mentioned is much larger than I thought it was. So is it possible or likely that my O2 sensors confusing my ECU is causing my car to die at idle and city speeds?
