Car dies...
Hmmm yesterday i was driving around and everything was fine, i pushed in the clutch and stopped to turn and my car died. I thought that was odd and started it back up and it was fine. I drove a little longer and same thing. Now it has died on me 3 times, but it wont die till it warms up. Car was running lean at times according to my air/fuel mixture monitor. Any ideas? It DID throw a CEL 3 days ago, when i bought the car the guy said it would because it runs rich because it needed tuned or something. He told me to just pull 2 fusses and it would reset.

Way too many variables on this one, especially when you don't know much of anything about the car. Take it to a qualified mechanic/shop and have them look at it.
And in the future, never buy a car that throws CELs unless you know EXACTLY why...

I'm just throwing this out there, no reason to suspect what I'm about to tell you...
Yesterday , I cleaned out my throttle body/intake.... I had accidentally disconnected one of the two small vacume lines (the hard lines with two small grey tubes that connect them). I drove over to my friends house ~20 miles and got a cell P0411. I checked the lines and found the disconnected one. I fixed the problem then drove home. The car did exactly as yours did... I was slowing down for a stop sign, pushed in the clutch and the engine died! It did it 3 more times, but hasn't done it since (yesterday)...
So, um just incase, check your vacume lines...

Sounds like a vaccum leak to me. IMO, If you guys don't know anything about cars or modifiying them, then stick with stockers.
were you born knowing how to modify your car?
