98 avenger 6 cyl. intermittent stalling attempts while at idle but never fully shuts off and now while driving it randomly loses power and drops rpm's to 0 at speed. runs rough when this happens but any other time it runs like a new car...ideas anyone???

took to Autozone to get check engine light checked and they said it was O2 sensor and crankshaft position sensor....would either of these be causing my problems?

I doubt the O2 sensor , the Crank sensor causes dying but won't restart usually

It sounds more like you have an idle issue ,
I'd clean the intake and run seafoam thru it first , if she still stumbles remove the EGR tube of the passenger rear and block it off with a metel "gasket" and reinstall if the car runs/idles you have a bad EGR

If she still won't idle remove the Idle Air Control and clean it and reinstall
Still no idle replace the IAC

 

ended up being the crank sensor. but now 2 days later im getting the multiple cylinder misfire flashing CEL. the car is running strong, no idle issues, no loss of power, any ideas?

my 1999 avenger had that problem it was a bad ground on my battery if your throttle cable is heating up its a bad ground for sure. check engine ground too ground battery to car also. strut tower should have a spot.

 

checked grounds, checked idle probs, ran seafoam thru, ive developed an oil leak out of rear valve cover. im thinking the rear plugs r fawling out

Have you tried blocking the EGR off ?
