What year car? We need to know.

Also this very rough running could be caused by a failed air mass meter.
Test for this:
With ignition off, and preferably the key in your pocket,
Disconnect the cable to the air mass meter (amm).
AMM is located mid way in the fat accordion hose from air filter housing to the throttle body.
With AMM disconnected try start the engine. If it idles better with amm disconnected then you need a new amm. Best bet usually is used out of a junker. That's a much better value than reconditioned or new, generally.

Again, be CERTAIN the ignition is off before you reconnect the amm.

Get back to us with the year and how the amm test went.
