Car wont start.. Need some help

[DSMDriver]

Whats happening is... I go to start the car, turn the ignition.. sometimes it struggles and barely starts and the rpms sink real low before returning to normal, but after hard use or long drives if I turn it off and try to turn it on again it will almost fully turn over but doesnt ever get there. Sometimes pumping the gas will work to get it going, but not usually. I'm going to try new plugs, and wires because trying to jump the battery didnt do anything. Thx for the help

first off check the small things. inspect the battery for the right charge. make sure there is no corrosion on the terminals. check the battery water level. if the battery looks good but not charging, it can be the alt. or just a dead battery. if it is not that inspect your ignition system. rotor, wires and plugs they may be just dirty or worn. if it starts slowly, it sounds like you can have fuel delivery problem as well. change your fuel filter and clean out your injectors with in tank cleaner. and if that still don't help compression check your engine. it can be an old engine with bad piston rings with blowby. Hopefully that's not the case.
