motor sounds rough and dies when trying to move forward...

well guys, here's the story....
I get my car to combust after about 5 seconds of crankin, it has a rough low idle of about 400 (picked up by my datalogger) and I have to keep the gass pressed down and the cluth in for about 30 seconds until the idle will go up and i can let off the clutch and it wont die...then it takes another 2 mins so that i can let off the gas and let it idle on its own....but the whole time it makes a very rough sound like its out of fuel or not getting spark in some cylinders...I let it run for about 5 mins and try to get it to move, it repeatdly dies no matter how high I rev to go forward and let off the clutch.
Well I poped the hood and pulled out one plug wire at a time and 2 & 3 hardly effect the engine sound but when I pulled the plug on cylinder #1 the car died instantly....so would that be a plug wire or an ignition problem or could it be that cylinders 2 &3 aren't getting fuel or something like that??? thanks guys...im in a hurry so sorry if this doesn't make sense...

When was the last time you changed the wires and plugs? It sounds to me like thats what the problem could be. Try that, and see if it still happens. Did you get a CEL at all? I know my car started acting like that when i needed new wires, but i went ahead and changed all of that at once and it was fine.

i changed the plugs recently (less than 1k miles) NGK, but the wires i have came w/ the car
