Default 1996 Camaro RS stalls when slowing down

When ever i put the car in nuetral to turn a coner the car will stall halfway, or if i slow down to come to a stop before i even stop it will stall. Not only that the car just feels akward like a strangers car to me now. It doesnt pick as fast. The service engine soon light comes on. This all happened after i replaced my water pump because it was overheating. I also noticed that my oil pressure switch was broken in half so i replaced it but that dint solve it. Other then that i dont know what else could be the problem. Well actually i plan to change the MAF but damn does suckers cost alot, i head it could be a bad ground for the cam something. Help me out please!

Check your egr valve if it's plugged this can happen.

Don't start replacing random stuffthats a quick way to waste tons of money. Get a diagnostic test to try to pinpoint the problem first.

Well that was one of the symptoms of my old car. Also, when I would throw it into reverse or 1st the car would like jerk before it would pick up, and anytime id come to a complete stop, (usually suddenly) my car would stall out and i'd have to throw it in park and restart it right in the street.

The problem with my car was the transmission so I had to get rid of it, hopefully thats not the problem with yours but I would get it checked out.
