Problems: 1. idle goes crazy 2. when coming to a stop it wants to die 3. lots of smoke comes out when idling 4. bad on gas 5. when maintaining speed around 4-5k it sputters and makes my car shake back and forth

solution before: when that problem occured i added a bottle of this redline product and it went away for about 3 weeks?

Problem now: they discontinued that bottle and i don't really know if that was my solution. now i just wanted to know if it could be the o2 sensor? this problem occurs here and there and just cures itself. wtf?? help thanks!

What do you mean the idle goes crazy? It bounces around? Stays high? Etc.?

What color is the smoke coming out the back?

Sounds to me like either a faulty fuel injector if your running lean, or faultly spark if your running rich...
