Default 94 accord cranks a lot b4 start and rough idle

Ok so my car takes like 3 seconds of turning the key to start and the other day it started idleing rough and at very low rpms until it warms up, I was thinking the long crank period before start up could be a fuel pump? what could the rough idle be? Im getting an oil leak fixed soon but what could this be and idk wat the oil leak is yet but its unrelated to this i believe cause I had the oil leak for awhile this just started, and i think the leak is a rear main seal... 94 2.2l vtec accord ex 170k thanks!!

-Injectors could be dirty - try fuel injector cleaner a couple of times and you might also want to replace the fuel filter after this.
-Dirty intake - do a seafoam treatment
-Bad/dirty IACV, FITV or throttle body - read this: https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-accord-1990-2002-2/cleaning-iacv-fitv-tb-1844067/
-Distributor cap and rotor might need to be replaced so just pull them and look to see the condition.
-Oil in sparkplug wells - pull the wires at the sparkplugs and check to see if you have a ton of oil in the wells. This is a common problem in accords.
-Sparkplugs might need to be replaced - pull and check them.
