Default 2000 impala 3.8 running rough

The engine idles rough and sounds like theres one or two cylinders missing. Replaced all coils, plugs, and wires, and cleaned the egr valve. When I start it cold it runs perfect for about 5 seconds and starts running rough again. The rpm gauge basically flutters and is very boggy when i give it throttle. Anyone have an idea what could be causing it? I'm running out of ideas.

My 2001 Impala was running very similar. The ignition module underneath the coils that the coils plug into went bad. Would work fine when cold but stop working when hot.
