2005 Dodge Town & Country will start but will not stay running when it's cold. After car warms up or in high temperatures it runs perfect

Clean the Throttle Body and MAF with Cleaner. That causes rough idle.

Also drop a bottle of Fuel System Restorer into half a tank of gas.

More ideas here, but start with the above.

My 2005 town and country does not have an egr valve - but idles very rough when stopped

I had the same problem and your right no egr on 2005 town and country I have the same vehicle and the place for the egr is covered by a metal plate I also had the same exact problem with my van misfire bad idle at stop lights and after replacing every sensor there is and testing every part and injector with Ohm meter I read an article about the intake manifold plenum gasket leak can cause misfire so I bought new intake manifold plenum gasket set for only $7.99 and installed them and like magic the van ran perfect no more misfire no sluggish start from light Van is fixed finally!!!

The car is idling rough. Acceration Slugglish

sounds like you have a egr that is stuck open
remove the egr valve clean it and see if that helps
of not replace it should improve the idling
