So lately my car has been dying when im slowing down for stop signs and stop lights. It doesnt do it all the time but when it does do it its really f***ing annoying, and sometimes dangerous. I have to relearn the IAC valve and the factory crossover is bad but other than that theres nothing else wrong with my car. Do you guys have any suggestions of what it might be? :icon_neutral:

The leaking crossover is your problem.  Replace it.

How does the crossover leaking cause it to die? I dont understand.

It lets oxygen enter the exhaust, making the O2 sensor see too much oxygen (aka lean condition) so it dumps in more fuel and runs excessively rich, causing poor driveability and stalling.
