Re: I shift into gear and it just...dies. Any ideas?
There are two temp sensors inside the cooler box, evap temp sensor and refrigerant temp sensor, pray this is the last time you hear of one.
A/C code 14/15 plagues my life. Replaced both in my SVX in 04. Got a code 14 few months back (evap temp). Evaporator must come out to replace them.

Also, I second checking the coolant temp sensor, if it is out the failsafe makes the car run very poorly when not warmed up, and can cause a very difficult start in cold weather. Usually when this goes bad the ECU sees it and will illuminate the MIL and turn the cooling fans on HI. But this is only when it is so bad it is open or short. The sensor is easily acessed right there on the crossover pipe and is inexpensive, If I ever thought there was a problem with mine I would just replace the darn thing, since those things used to drop like flies on the first gen legacy, and it looks to be the same sensor to me.
