idle/stalling out

so i replaced my plugs and the car was workin awesome, then out of nowhere the car died as i was rolling into a lot in neutral.. the car wouldnt start unless i gave it gas and would have to continue to give it gas to keep the rpms above 0... so we moved my throttle cable so now it idles at 500rpm and barely stays alive.

read codes..
map sensor bad, got a new one and but it in but didnt seem to help
intake tempature sensor bad? dont know much about this one... could this be a part of the problem?
and the code for the throttle position sensor didnt come up.. but it seems logical?

Check the lines to your EGR valve

the likes look ok visually. but will check again in the morning, i just played w the screw in the throttle body and got the car to idle around normal now. however there must be something out to make it stall out in the first place..

and doest the egr valve throw an insuficient flow code? id think it would if there was a leak big enough to not let the car idle.. and she pulls thru the gears just fine still
