Default engine almost dying

well sometimes when i reverse and then put it in to drive the car will almost die. The RPM's drop real fast but after about 1-2 seconds it goes up. Then it will go back downto 800 rpms and idle there. I have a bad rear 02 sensor so do you think that is the problem.? The car has 150,000 miles on it, so keep that in mind.


thanks guys,
ashton

could be your IAC. You can try taking it off, and cleaning the crap out of it, although that didnt work for me. 4.6's are pretty prone to havin IAC issues, so I hear
