Default hard to start problem

ok i got a 92 v6 3.1 5spd i bought the car it started fine, then next time i tried to start it took like 10 min, it starts and dies immediatelyit does this like 10 time then if you give it gas it finally starts with a puff of smoke, it gets worse every time i try it, now it wont even idle,check engine light is NOT on also when it did run if you were at lower rpms and hit the gas it would sputter and almost stall. i tjust took off egr and it had two gaskets on it and they looked like they were not sealed right you can see where there was an exhaust leak on it.
also its been running really rich, heres a list of whats been done recently

Fuel filter
IAC sensor
compression test(all at 150psi)
Fuel pressure test(within specs)


ANY IDEAS WOULD BE GREAT
