When I start my car, if I don't gas it, it dies. If I leave it runing by itself it dies. If I turn at a slower speed (like 15 or so) while the clutch is pushed in or the car is in neutral, it dies. Somebody said that it might be bad O2 sensors. I have no clue. Any ideas?

Any codes (CEL's)?
You could also have a MAF problem, maybe a leak somewhere. Could be Idle air control, or many other things.
Id get it scanned for codes first, this can usually lead to clues. Try turning up your idle speed a bit by way of the idle screw. May get you by for a bit while you get it straightened out.

The car was just professionally tuned a couple of weeks ago, cuz it was running rich and flooded a few things but now it is running great, except for the idling part. I'll check those things and see what i come up with.
