When I first start it is and the motor is cold it starts of fine. Withing 2 or 3 minutes if I slow down or stop it will shut off as soon as I give it gas. If I ease it into high idle, pumping gas pedal, then let off of clutch, I can start off. On the freeway I have to keep it high RPMs.
Would O2 sensor cause that?

I don't think the oxygen sensor can cause that, but we should run the codes to see what comes up.

here is a guide to help:

It sounds like you have a vacuum leak, or the fuel filter is clogged. Please follow this guide when the engine is cold only:

Here is the location of the fuel filter so you can change it out in the images below. Please let me know what you find.
