Running Rich and Clutch switch...

I have 2 questions:

First, my O2 sensor is mulfunction. I think my car are running rich becaz I have a bad gas milage. I just wondering what will happened or affected if car running too rich??? Will running rich caz engine stall???

Second, it seems that I do not only have the TSB engine stall problem, but idle hunting from 900~ 700, sometimes even stall when AC is not, clutch is not in and gear is not in...so i just want to check if this is clutch switch related?? How can I know if the clutch switch is failed physically and internally????

Thx

Proof read version~

First, my O2 sensor is mulfunction. I think my car are running rich because I have a bad gas milage. I just wondering what will happened or affected if car is running too rich??? Will running rich cause engine to stall???

Second, it seems that I do not only have the TSB engine stall problem. When my car stops, idle sometimes hunt from 900~ 700. In some occasion, it even stall while AC is not on clutch is not depressed and gear is not in...

Simple,

don't depress the clutch pedal when starting the car. If the car starts without you depressing the pedal then the clutch switch is shorted. If it does not start and you have to depress the clutch to start it, then there is nothing wrong with your clutch. I would check for vacuum leakage, it's usually the main cause of idling problems.

You sure it's not blowing *out*? That's what happens when there's a leak and the turbos are boosting.
