ok i need your help getting the car up and running

ok so the other night on my way home she stalled on me but started right back up when i got home i pulled pulled the egr to check for carbon buildup as suggested in another post about bad MPG's

anyway everything looked fine so i bolted it back up and then checked the air cleaner and tb and it all looked good

when i started the car she sounded horrible the idle was bouncing all over the place she actually stared shaking the whole car and there was a really really strong smell of gas everywhere

she stalled out a few more times but i was able to pull a code 33 & 44
last night i checked for vacuum leaks but couldn't find any


I just found a new shop near by i'm going to take her to on monday but
i really need to get her up and running b/4 then

so what else should i check

Also, while the car is running, pull the vacuum line off of the MAP sensor and make sure it has vacuum.
