IDLE/STARTING PROBLEMS

Car already has idle issues. Stalls out at low rpm's (slowing to lights etc.)

Vehicle now stalls out at low rpm's and when I attempt a restart (after putting the auto back into park) I turn the key and get nothing. Not even 1 turnover or crank sound. I then turn the key all the way down and back up, & then I hear the starter going but no actual start. I have to crank the engine 6-7 times to get it to start. Sometimes it will die out again after starting as well.

RECENT PARTS REPLACED: battery, plugs & wires, dist. cap & rotor, TPS sensor, O2 sensor, Catalytic, EGR Valve.
