Car runs bad after head gasket changed...?

I replaced my water pump, thermostat, head gasket and all the other gaskets, torqued everything that needed to be, did the oil/filter change, and flushed out the radiator. I cannot figure out why the car is running bad. I can get it started and when I test drove it, as I took a turn the car died. It seemed like every couple blocks I would drive it would die. It sounds like there is a vacuum leak, I have tried the soap and water but I didn't see anything on the lines. Please help, also, could the fuel filter be part of the culprit? My guess is either the EGR system, vacuum leak, or fuel filter, any other suggestions? Thanks.Car runs bad after head gasket changed...?clamp all hoses even vacuum hoses.

Your really saying anything here. What make, model, engine size, country of origin, mileage????? NEED MORE INFO!!! Use Gum-out to find vacuum leaks. Use Gum-out to clean your throttle body, plate, and IDLE Control system. Use it to clean the EGR valve, inside. Good luck!!
