Have you had your engine light scanned for codes yet?
Do that when your at the auto parts store picking up the tune up parts.
Also don't ever buy a Bosch O2 sensor as our cars pretty much run like butt when a Bosch O2 sensor is installed.

i dont think they scan for codes at the auto parts stores here in ontario, at least i dont know of anywhere that does , i just have to wait till my mechanic gets back from moose hunting plus he'll scan it for nothing usually. plus im taking the parents car to the city i dunno how good i am at two foot driving in the city yet .

engine just shuts off , sometimes i dont notice untill it gets hard to steer and the chime is going off
when i drive it to work in the morning when the car is cold , she runs great , exept for the rough idle , when starting in it takes a little longer than i think it should to start , just seems to crank a little bit too long , when it dose start (it always dose) the idle is all over the place up and down and all around , then it smooths out (takes about 30 seconds) and idles at about 1500rpm when its cold .
They get full of carbon over the years and will not adjust the air speed correctly. You can't really clean it because the carbon will get way inside the sensor down by the screw cam.
I believe that once you have your car scanned you will know what is actually giving you the problem. Hang in there.
Call ahead to the various auto part stores to see if they can scan your engine light for codes. Most all auto part stores here will scan for free

damn it , dad cleaned the self were we keep all the sprays and what not i know there was some carb cleaner up there but its gone , all thats left is spray paint ( probly not a good idea to start spraying that all willie-nillie under the hood) and some mercury outboard motor power tune. i see this isnt going to go smoothly

dissolve gum, varnish, deposits and clogs in the fuel system and combustion chambersScrub carburetors and injectors clean with this detergent cocktail of solvents and motor oil. Fast-acting chemical dissolves gum, varnish, deposits and clogs in the fuel system and combustion chambers.
If you don't think your dad wont mind you using it than give it a try!
Give it quick little sprays on vacuum hose lines, connections, around your intake. Don't dowse your motor
Make sure you use this outside and wear goggles to protect your eyes!
And don't get any on you car paint as this stuff sounds pretty volatile to surfaces like that....
