Default problem with idle car dies and have to rev it to keep it going at stoplights

first off i know this isnt a honda having problems so no point to flame or talk thanks
Im not to sure what forum this is suppose to be in but my winter car is a 92 lumina 3.1 and it has sort of an idle problem. If you floor the car then it will die, it will also hesitate. Sometimes when im at a light you have to keep the foot on the brake and rev it up just so it wouldnt die whats everyone opinions on the problem.
1) took it to auto zone did the engine diag test and first it came up IAC so i changed that.

2) was told to change the EGR so i did that and that wasnt it cause after i went to the junkyard and got one my dumbass thinks ill just take one off a good running car and see if thats the prob so i did that and it still does the same

3) finally took it to a shop to get a total test done and they said 4 injectors was bad and it would be 700 to fix i was like hell no. I called summit and ordered some accel and changed all 6
so i was all excited that i might have a car that ran good till i get a new transmission for my civic

anything that people could think it could be o and i checked all vacums and it has new plugs as well. I just want to get this thing running so that i can sell it and get a new beater or get a tranny
thanks any info would help

Check timing and check fuel filter/pump. Sound like an issue i had when a fuel pump was on its way.
