My car has been running like a peice of junk on and off for about a year now. At first I thought I was getting bad gas but things changed. My car starts fine runs ok for a few minutes until it warms up, then as soon as I take my foot off the gas when I am driving, the revs drop drastically and the car will stall while I am still moving. If the car doesnt stall all my resourses are gone such as brakes, the heater slows down etc. It seems like I have a major vacuum leak or something. I had some codes come up last summer telling me to replace my left O2 sensor. When I did and changed plugs the car ran better for awhile untill it started getting back to running crappy again. In October for no reason the car started runnning like a new car for about 2 months untill one day it all of a sudden started running like crap again. I am going crazy can you help me, no check engine light is coming on either. Please help!

Check the fuel pressure make sure its on specs. Find the idle air control valve/thottle position sensor and EGR and test it by the book.
