I've had the same thing happen in my VP Calais

It's will go up and down between 0.5rpm and 1000rpm, and will sometimes stall when im driving (well its not even a stall the engine just cuts out - even at 60km/h!!!)

this happens mainly when starting - it won't turn over - but as above it sometimes just shuts down when driving....

If your O2 sensor is stuffed, wouldn't that indicate a higher fuel usage only?

Is the throttle body clean?

Have you tried unplugging the battery, and then resetting it that way..Sometimes that can work....

Try the easy things first that won't cost you money..
