Default Starting issue

Ok, when i started my car somehow my car started shaking little and RPM was dropping. ( it usualy happens when cold weather so i have to kick clutch when i start a car. )
But today this weird thing happend. it started shaking little/ making a weird noise and than barely started.

and smell something burning for a while.

but smell it went away.

i'm thinking maybe spark plugs?
i'm at 43K now.

anyone can explain ?

If you let your plugs to stay in the heads for 100,000 miles
MY BETS are the plugs would weld themselves in the cylinder head.

Spent the extra money, and change your plugs at 60,000 miles for preventive maintenance.

make sure that the throttle chamber is not gummed up or dirty..try taking the intake boot off and use some throttle chamber cleaner,be sure to clean the front and back of the butterfly and around the small vacuum hole in the chamber..dont over do it on the spray.
