bad startup, rough idle

[talontd4g63]

hey everyone, i have a 92 talon n/a and recently its started to act up and i needed more opinions on what could be wrong, about a month ago my car would start then idle horribly rough , and then shutoff, it stopped that(knock on wood) and now everyday when i start it up from a cold start or partially cold start it may start for about 4 seconds then it will shut off, when it does decide to start it idles rough and sometimes acts as if it wants to shut off, i just replaced the plugs yesterday and i have to pick up the new wires today, i am using ngk bpr6ey-11 plugs and magstar 8.5 mm wires. i have a redtop optima battery , 3" cai , with a k&n filter, and a custom catback exhaust , just throwing the mods out there to see if any of those could be a problem, also when it had the problem about a month ago the computer would keep resetting , and sometimes now if it starts idling rough enough it will reset . any information would be greatly appreciated.

ok first thing to check is your EGR vlave, start the car and let it run a lil, touch the Main pipe coming from the EGR if its hot then its stuck open, Second thing is unplug your MAFS and see what happends if it runs a lil better then it will be that most likely
