Well I live in Nashville, Tn which we have emissions here, I have 97 Mustang GT that failed and read a bad egr valve or maf sensor, my question is when I get into the gas at anytime it wants to cut out like it has a governor on it, with the description ca It idles low at times when sitting still and feels like it has hicups, but mainly when I get in gas it cuts out!

Pull and clean the EGR valve. Test it with a vacuum source.
