Default Car Stalls For no Reason

Well i was driving it today and the rpm was bouncy and high. and when i stop at red light it stalls for no reason. if i dont gas it, the rpm drops and stalls. it drives fine tho if i keep on gassing it. Stalls out when im at a complete stop. I had to gas it in neutral while i was driving back and it was very annoying. anyone know whats the problem? Also i dont have a 02 sensor on my car but you think that might effect it?

Why the hell dont you have an 02 sensor? You do know that your o2 sensors purpose is to read the A/F ratio and send it back to your ecu to adjust your A/F going into the motor right.

yah you gotta fix obvious problems before you try to figure out other problems...and i can tell you now cleaning your iacv wont fix it. your car is running crazy rich without an o2 sensor

What year car, what model, etc?

I got 2 new o2 from sparkplugs.com mine cost $150/per anywhere else but, there they were like $80/both.

Shouldn't have to drill any holes unless you've added something that doesnt have the o2 sensor
