I have a car that keeps stalling out when you press on the gas pedal.

I have a 4.6 L Ford Thunderbird. Ever since I got it when I lightly tap the gas pedal it tries to stall out and die. The fuel filter, air filter, and spark plugs have been replaced. It got a "faulty" EGR valve when my uncle took it in, but many people say it's hardly ever that. I've cleaned the MAF and the wiring that goes into it, and it seems to help for a few minutes before the same thing starts happening again. It even happens when the MAF sensor is unplugged. Any suggestions, Thank you in advanced!

I have done almost step on that site. I do not have a fuel test gauge, and the EGR valve is put in such a dumb spot that it will take a mechanic to replace it. The previous owner bought the part, but I do not want to pay a mechanic for something it is not.

Yep, and that's why I asked for help not automated advice. Thanks for helping, though.
