STARTING - will start when pumping the gas pedal, usually within 3-5 seconds. it's starts best when I let the vehicle sit for 2 hours. otherwise it'll take many tries to start (longest 30 min)

WARM UP - when started I have to keep my foot on the gas pedal to keep the engine from dying out. once engine is warm(5 min) I can let off the gas pedal & engine will idle fine.

CUTTING OUT - without a proper 5 min warm up, my engine will cut out when rolling to a stop light or stop sign, usually have to keep my "RPMs up" in order to keep my ride from dying out.
**will cut out every time I place into Drive or Reverse which makes parallel parking tough** still need to keep my RPMs up to keep my engine from stalling

SLUGGISH - randomly upon acceleration from rounding a turn & on freeway acceleration even when flooring it

Vehicle runs great after warm up, gets me to where I need to go. however I try to lessen my stop & go's running errands or doing deliveries


New - TPS, IAC, MAF, spark plugs, wires, battery, fuel filter changed a year ago & original fuel pump

with that kind of mileage I would check timing. It may be too far out of time when cold, or maybe cam or crank sensor. these types of sensors usually fail completely but I have had them intermit in other vehicles if the wires are interrupted by a break or bare spot.

I'd suggest taking a look at the EGR valve, sounds like it might be sticking open.
Just out of curiosity, have you done a compression test?
