Replaced EGR and still stalls! Help!!

My 03 f150 has the 4.6. Engine light has been on for some time now. Finally truck died. Code was for faulty EGR valve. I replaced it reset the codes as well as the computer and it’s still stalling!? No performance mods or anything to list. Please help!

The 4.6 is notorious for plugging up the egr passages from what I understand. Read this:

If a new EGR valve didn't fix it, either the passages in the throttle body elbow are plugged or the DPFE is bad.

Now you probably have a bad IAC.
