If you stop at a light or stop sign I have to slip the car into neutral, with the break on of course, and keep my foot on the gas to keep it from stalling out when the rpms drop.

I have replaced the spark plugs, Spark plug wires, air filter, fuel filter, PCV Valve and filter.

The engine light is not on so no codes to go by.

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. At my wits on trying to figure out whats wrong
Suggestion: Take the car to Autozone to have the computer codes 'read'
It is a free service and they will tell you if you have any emission sensor issues.
From your description, the problem sounds as if it is fuel delivery related, based on the problem becoming apparent only during 'closed loop' operation. However, the computer read-out will give you a starting point.
