Question Car dies after randomly at an idle (need help)!!!!

ok I have an 03 APS TT
The last long trip i had in the car was december (christmas holidays)
After that I didnt really drive it anymore....been doing interior mods (nothing mech.)
Like normal ppl i would crank the car and let it idle every week to keep the fluids moving
Now i want to drive it now but having problems

Since i didnt do anything mech. i wanted to just drive the car
while the car is cold and idling a little high nothings wrong

When the car gets warm thats when the problem start
i have been driving and as soon as i press in the clutch to come to a stop the car dies
or
before i even leave the house when i press the clutch to put it in gear the car dies
or
after cranking the up the car it just dies randomly

Searching on the forum and seeing that it seems some ppl have a similar problem i went down the list recommendations
I cleaned the MAF, Camshaft Position Sensor, check oil levels, cleaned throttle body, reset ecu, re-learn process for throttle body and throw Stabil in the tank
the last time i had "fresh gas" or at least buy newer gas was about 2 weeks ago

Now after doing all this I assumed my problem was gone.......so i went driving last night

Guess what it died again.....and again.....and again
After being tired of all the restarting i had less than half a tank of gas
i figured to get some clean $$$$ gas
So after a trip at exxon and about 100 miles on the highway i decide to turn around again and make another lap before i head home.......sure enough the car died again

Then in the city area more stopping and going it died again.......and again.....and again

OK anymore ideas ppl......all the others seem to help car in acceleration (thanks)but not fix my Root Problem
The only code that comes up is P0335 (crankshaft Position Sensor) i had that replaced in September and those signs are totally different when than sensor fails
Im stumped

PLEASE HELP

With your car being TT, there's many other issues that could be at play.

I suggest you post in the FI forum to see if you can get some more help.
