Default Car Problems [Need to step on gas to start car]

Well I got a 97 accord lx. When I try to turn on the car sometimes it wont turn on. I dont think the gas is going into the engine to start or something. So I have to step on the gas a little while turning the key to make the car start. This happens on and off.. Sometimes I dont need to step on the gas and sometimes I do. When my car starts it sometimes feels all shaky and **** like its rumbling. But den after starting up and rumbling for a second or 2 it goes back to normal and Im driving again.

Anyone have any ideas of why this is happening?

when was the last time plugs were changed?
Try to let the check engine light go off before cranking the engine, this allows fuel pressure to build up and injectors spray an easy to ignite mist into the cylinder. When you just crank without letting the fuel pressure build up, the injector drizzles drops of fuel that are hard to ignite.
