Default car is having hard time starting

Anyone encounter this problem..

I was at the red light and it turned green..went to first gear and slowly released the clutch car was boggin and jerkin a coupleof time..took it out of first gear and put it back in slowly released the clutch and it was okay..Got home and now its hard to start the car...cranks takes like 5-8 sec to start now, normaly its like 2 sec only

car: 94 del sol Vtec B16a3

could it be fuel pump...Distributor...

haven't changed the spark plugs either, when i bought the car...could this be the problem

check the rotor on the distributor and see if its in good condition it might be worth picking one up there like $8 bucks or so get another cap while your at it.
