I know this thread has been posted before, but i checked in the archives and this problem can be caused for several reasons.
This is the problem: The car has 3 months with low idle(500-600 rpm). some times the car dies when i�´m in the red light, and when i try to acelerate it, idle goes low, and low, and car dies. Today the car was under aceleration and suddenly died. What could be? the IAC, vacum Leak, O2 sensor, a disconected hose?.
i got "check engine" light on. Tomorrow the car will be scanned.
Car has 115,000 kms on it.

first get your code read, next tell u, in the mean time you can check you IAC and your wires, and all the vacuum lines, it would not be an o2 sensor they will just throw a code not cause it die, keep us posted

I was goin to the mechanic and this happened, car shut down again, but when i tryed to ignite it, the CEL dissapeared, the car runned well, but when the CEL came back, and the car died again. I got to whait for 5 minutes before trying to ignite the car again. What the hell is this!!!!!
They Scanned the car and threw the code P0175

I'm guessing that an injector is sticking open.

Could be the pump, yes. Could be the filter also. Check your filter for $5 or $6. Notice when you pull it if there is a lot of fuel in it or if it seems kind of empty.
Ofcourse if you don't here the pump that could be an issue as well. It seems that the haynes has a test for your pump.
You could pull one from a yard as well to save cash. Just thinking...
Good luck.
Did I really buy this car?!?

Based on that, I'd say maybe an injector is stuck open. Try a bottle of Lucas fuel system cleaner. If it is a stuck injector, that may free it up.
