Any Mechanics want to lend a hand?
NTD:
It's not the heat shield we have ruled that out. As far as the EGR it seems most have concurred that the car runs too well otherwise for that to be the issue. I'd like to do the codes but was Autozone correct that it won't display codes if the Check Engine Light isn't on? I will clean the throttle body plate and let you know how that turns out.
The thing is from what I understand, most of the things that have been mentioned would cause much more consistant stalling, poor performance, idle issues, etc.
aero86:
dirty throttle plate wont cause poor performance, just stalling at idle, because the iac has a hard time controlling the air intake.
El Destructo:
I still say that it's either the EGR Valve....or a blocked Catalytic Converter...jmo....
Pappy:
The EGR will also act worse at idle,not running down the road,if it is hung open it won't idle good or die but other than a lean surge it will run ok on the road usually. :)

soRRy i been away fo a bit on this
ok now knowing its tbi
im with pappy as to check the egr system next
egr at cruise wont hurt anything
egr at idle will cause stalling
if the egr is just slightly hanging up and can cause a surge
if it hangs open it can cause a stall on decel or at idle
i still say if it was a converrtor issue it would cause a lack of power as the engine warms up and the exhuast gets hot.
thats when the plugging gets noticed.it could cause stalling but at that point the convertor will be glowing cherry red.
and it wont start and run decent untill its cooled off again
stalling on turns,are you just coasting(decelerating)thru the turns?
if so check he egr ;)
starting to sound repetative here ;D
