Default Car starts, then dies

Ok. I have been having problems with the car lately. The car car will start, but takes exessive cranking to get it going. Then it will idle very rough and cut off sometimes. Then if I get it going and driving it will sputter very badly and not go anywhere. But once it shifts out of 1st gear and rolling, it drives just fine. And I won't have any problem out of it. But once at a red light I can tell it's not idleling right. But it still drives fine. Optispark has recently been replaced. As have plugs and wires. Any ideas what it may be?

What's your fuel pressure at when cranking, at idle, at WOT?
