Default Stalling, cutting out, and rough idle when stopping

I have a 97 Avenger V6 that will not idle for more than a couple seconds. The car stalls out when I come to a stop, and the #4 Distributor wire pop's out and causes the car to stall and not accelerate. I have already changed the TPS, Map sensor, fuel filter, fuel pump, Idle Air Flow valve, camshaft sensor, and cleaned the EGR valve and still my car will not run at idle. Also, when I slow down and the car stalls, the brakes stop working even though I feather the gas to keep the from dying. PLEASE HELP, I dont know what else could be wring. OH and the scan tool says I have multiple misfires.

The problem is you have supposedly replaced everything so unless you induced a new problem , or got a bad part it should run. My best advice to get it to a shop on a computer to ACCURATELY diagnose the trouble and have it repaired.
Only other thing I can think of is : computer , vacumn leak,have you blocked the EGR off
