SOURCE: Rough idel

OK, Im sensing many issues here. I will list the most important check points below that you will need to inspect thoroughly. I recommend running a code check as well if possible. the check points are listed as follows..

Check Points---

1. Inspect the EGR Valve-- A Improperly Functioning or Faulty EGR Valve will contribute to misfiring and instant death of the engine.
2. Inspect all Fuel injectors-- Dirty or Worn Fuel Injectors can cause rough idles as well. inspect accordingly.
3. Inspect the Idle Air Control Valve-- Damaged, Loose, or Faulty Idle Air Control Valves will cause rough idle.
4. Inspect the idle speed actuator-- It could be loose or faulty.
5. Check the throttle position sensor. this is a know problem spot when the idle is erratic or unstable.
6. Make sure you are running a clean air filter as well. this is a simple check that may fix your idle issue as well.
7. Inspect the PCV Valve-- This device may be clogged or damages. make sure the hose is not bent.
8. If there is a Carb present, i would run a thorough check on all lines and choke assembly as well.
9. Inspect the valve assembly for Burned, Worn, or Sticking Exhaust Valves. this can cause back firing and rough idle as well.
10. I also recommend checking the timing chain for slippage or worn timing gears as well. this can cause your symptoms.
11. INspect the fuel pump for faults.
12. If you have run through the above list to this point and still have not seen anything unusual, i will now recommend pulling the cam to check for worn Camshaft Lobes. this will screw up valve timing and affect the engines idle greatly.
13. if a distributor is present, i would check the ignition points for worn or incorrectly set points.

This concludes the check list. you will find the problem in one or all of the areas stated above.

Please rate and god bless:)

Spray the intake with carb cleaner to find the vacuum leak. Check where the EGR mounts and the throttle body gasket sense you had both off.

Its possible you have some heavy vacuum leaks? I'd inspect every thing well to identify an open line or poor seal drawing air in.
I hope this may have helped,

idl air control (IAC),may be bad,also,check the EGR valve,and all vacuum lines going and coming from the throttle body. yu can test the EGR,just try pushing the diaphram by hand from beneath. if you can move it easily its good,if its hard,or doesnt move,ot needs repaced. also a pcv valve and air filter are good ideas,considering you have replaced 80% of the emission system already.

SOURCE: I have a 1990 suburban 5.7 tbi is puring fuel

Coils ever get replaced? They create all the spark, if not enough spark no combustion so it will act flooded.

1987 blazer dies when i turn

I'm assuming the check engine light is not on. You'll have to figure out if it is fuel or ignition to proceed.
Any chance its a wiring problem and something is getting pinched or pulled when you turn ?

1995 chevy silverado 350 TBI V8 standard powerloss

have you checked the filter, i know you state the fuel lines are clear though. likely fuel injectors have lost flow. the TBI injectors can be cleaned, but i usually just replace them. but check them using a timing light hooked to the coil wire for timing of each injector spray. the pattern under the light should be even and conical shape, no major spatter. if one shows low volume, the other one should be replaced at same time, it will save you having to change it when you put brand new next to old one a have same problem again. only replace with brand new, i've had 7 bad remanufactured injectors on one truck at one point in time, only replace with new!
