    I don't see the egr valve causing you hassle starting. It'll cause trouble when its running.

    No harm to get a diagnostic check done on it to read what fault codes, if any are recorded.

    Post the county you're in and someone here might help out

    Replace the engine control module relay and fuel pump relay

    Got Autel Maxi Scan , read no errors , playing with ignition it would seem to indicate issue with barrel/ switch as if I turn a certain way turns over every time.

    Alternator in the end
