My car vehicle above US idling rough with low jumpy revs, when A/C is on, and I lock steering full either way the car stalls. Have replaced every sensor, new timing kit, coils, plugs, leads, fuel pumps everything. Any ideas?

Yep, this happens when you have a vacuum leak, or the throttle body needs to be serviced. here are two guides to help us fix the problem with instructions for you can in the images below:

I have seen a bad throttle bore or throttle pedal sensor go out and cause this issue with no codes. I would try cleaning the throttle bore first. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
