Yeah car idles like shit for 1min. and dies at around 400 rpm. Engine is now officially nutless even during w.o.t... Sputtering sound when on the gas.

I know I've had an exhaust leak for a bit and it ain't gettin any better. I'm just wondering if it could be causing the problems I just listed or should I be aiming to diagnose an engine misfire? (Plugs, cables, cap and rotor are good)

P.S. runs fine when cold, problems arise after the block warms up after about 10-15 min of driving... Really thrown off here. Thanks for reading!

I don't think an exhaust leak could be responsible for that. Has the ECU given you a check engine light yet?

Any cel? If so check those first before doing anything else

No, no cel. Cel works, it flashes on when I start the car.

Hmmm it is possible but probably not the problem. With no cel your kinda grabbin at straws, check any vac lines, possible ecu is bad, check grounds etc. This motor stock or modified?

Try a better quality gas from another gas station

An exhaust leak near or upstream of the O2 sensor will cause severe fueling issues like that.
