Default Problem initial starting engine, or re-start after shutdown, please help...

Hey guys,

heres some background info. i got a 93 civic hatch. everything stock. i have a clifford matrix rs3 remote starter. recently i have noticed that my car has trouble starting (will explain what exactly happens later on..). I have trouble starting my car in two cases.
Case 1 : Dont drive car alll day, try to start it, then it jst grinds..
Case 2 : I shut down car for a minute or two, and try to start it again, and it wont start. ( for example i get gas...)

This is what happens when it doesnt start:
I basically turn my key in the ignition to start it, and then it just grinds (dont know if thats the correct word to use?!!?) And it would just keep grinding... its would make the noise that cars usually make when it trys to start but no ignition. sometimes when i let it stay for about 3-4min, and try again and it will start.

SOMETIMES, when i start the enigine, it will ignite and run like normal, but only for about no more than 10 sec. and it will shut down, and when i try to start it again i get that grinding noise again...

I seriously believe it is my starter. i dont think its my spark plugs b/c i just got new bosch platinum 4 prong ones about 10,000 miles ago...

If anyone had this problem before please tell me about your experience and what your guys think i should do. also if you guys could add what are the best spark plugs you can get for your money (thats just a totally diff. q, but im curious, thanks for all your help...
