Default help with low idle during startups

ive been having a low idling problem where it would start to shutter occasionly nothing i thought much of until today. i tried starting up the car and it didnt even want to startup, it just shuttered and died. so i gave it gas while starting up and it helped with the start. i recently changed the fuel filter if that matters which i doubt. someone help me out.

doesn't matter how many miles there are, a gasket can go bad at pretty much anytime.. plus if it wasn't the gasket then it's either a snapped head bolt or a crack in the block, so which would you rather more likely have happen?
