Replaced Coolant temp sensor, fuel filter, installed nu plugs w/proper gap... Dies when making a turn at slow speed/backing up...Egr valve is blocked on 1 line... Vacuum line running to EGR when removed from connection no change in engine speed.. Since replacing CTS running a lttle better..Car dies when put into gear... The longer it warms up the easier it moves... Poor acceraltion

Pull EGR to see if it is not seated any air getting in will cause poor idle. The O2 sensor if faulty will keep accel down. Need temp and O2 to close loop in PCM
