Bad Idle!!!!!

A few days ago my car recently died on me right on start up. Out of the blue, the car turned over fine and died about 5 seconds later. Tried turning it on, and the car just would not idle. I kept the car revved up and began driving. The idle was anywhere from 300-1100. It seriously sounded like it would with a huge, untuned cam. The car reached operating temperature and it was fine. Then today, it did the same thing. Erratic idle and suddenly died. The car turned off, then I turned it back on, and everything was fine. I cleaned out the MAF, IAC valve. I know I have some issues with either my battery or alternator because my odometer resets and my gauges do the sweeping motion, but idk if that's related to it or not.

I swapped out o2's(about 4 thousand miles ago)... it could be them though, that they are not warming up right. I have about 6K miles on the TR6's, so maybe they went foul? I don't spray too often though.

Any ideas? No SES codes...
