Default any ideas?

in the past couple of days, i have replaced the crankshaft position sensor and the throttle position sensor.

my car had the problem of dying while driving. after i replaced the two sensors mentioned, i have not had that problem (yet).

today i took my car around my neighborhood, and it would drive fine, then i come to a stop sign/light and it'll drop in rpms then come up back to normal. drove it around some more, and its doing the same thing. i thought i was out of the woods and the computer had to relearn my driving style.

i came back home, turned off my car. about 5 minutes later, i started it up and drove to racetrac (not for gas) and my car died at stop lights/signs on the way there and back.

anyone with info or ideas?

I've seen them go bad faster than that. It all depends on how much crap is your gas tank.
