40 psi at idle is pretty good.  The EGR solenoid doesn't affect anything as far as how it runs, especially at idle.  Many people remove it or the valve and remove the check engine light.

When you installed the new IAC, did you adjust the pintle down to just under 1 1/8 inch?  If it had a slotted pintle shaft, did you rock it side to side while pressing down on it to retract it?  If it had a smooth round shaft, did you retract the spring from the tip and screw it down?  The one with the slotted shaft can be damaged if you try to screw it down. 

O-2 sensor usually will throw a 33 code if it's bad.  I'm having that issue right now.  33 code and 45 code.  Rich exhaust and MAP sensor.  0-2 sensors can be bad enough to give problems but still not throw a code.

I haven't received the new IAC valve yet waiting for it to come in the mail.the only sensor I have replaced so far is the m.a.p. I have a new air charge sensor, throttle position sensor, temperature sending unit, and i.a.c on the way .

Is it possible the transmission could be stuck in 2nd or 3rd gear?

Would you recommend me replacing the O2 sensor?

No.  What does the pressure read, with the ignition off, when you first prime the pump?

When you went for a drive, did it shift?

Almost sounds like the CTS or associated wiring.

I'll have to hook a fuel pressure gauge up to it when I go back out there tomorrow. When I drove it no it did not get out of first I didn't go any faster than 20 mph and had little power .

I'll have to double-check it to be sure but last time I checked the fuel pressure before I started the car and I turn the key for the pressure was at 45 to 48 maybe and when running it stays right about 40- 42 PSI but don't set that in stone just yet I'll have to retest it

Those numbers are good.  Looking more and more like CTS.

This is the one right above the water pump correct.
