When its cold the car misses, chuggs, and even dies when I excelerate, hit a bump or when I slow down to go around the corner.

Let's start with the basics. Make sure that your spark plugs are properly gapped and not fouled. If the fuel filter has not been replaced in the past yer, replace it. Check for vacuum leaks. Make sure all vacuum hoses are tightly attached to their components, no frayed or cracked hoses.
