Stalling at a stop

ok so just the other day the wifey is like your car stalled 4 times on me, and I'm like yeah yeah , wonder what she did this time. Well today , The F'er stalled on me a few times. I was just cruisin on thru and I noticed a lil hesitation, no biggie, I thought. Well when I came to the stop light the rpms just went lower and lower untl NADA, STALLED. Started right back up no problem but it did this a few more times. I am confused cuz I did almost everything ppossible as far as a tune up a couple months ago, .. Plugs, oil, knock sensor, new fuel filter, and I put on a K&N filter and removed the stock air box. Not sure if that could be the problem, combined with the 87 octane I'd been putting in recently, F'in OPEC bastards. But the CEL light is not on, so I'm kinda Weirded out about it.

I want to clear this up b4 I put the Ypipe I have in my basement on...
ANYONE?

If you need more info let me know...

if you read it, you would see that he already replaced the fuel filter. i doubt its the gas that is causeing this problem. id say go get your alternater checked.

This just happened to me!!! I was pushing the car with some hi rpm driving, when I come to a stop the engine kills, I do have an exhaust leak and I need a fuel filter, but is there anything else you guys can think of the would cause this?

ALSO 2 weeks ago I put that intake temp sensor into my cai, I can tell im using more fuel than before when it was just dangling in the engine, could this have anything to do with it? I go through more gas then before but I don't notice any performance change.

Thanks


EDIT: The lowest octane ive ever put in was 92, the cars been on nothing but premium for the past 8 months. and I may try the chevron techron because ive seen people here say they like it.

ok , well it finally threw a code, my engine light came on and i checked the code, .. it is 0303 Front Left Heated O2 sensor, .. Not sure if this is the sensor left dangling in the bay from putting on the K&N filter, ... if anyone else has had this code or has replaced this sensor could you let me know what the deal is ...

Thanks
