Exclamation Starting Problem

Hey everyone so just as of today as I was leaving work my car wasn't starting, it would start then die. Then when I gave it gas it started right up. Sense then, every time I start my car I have to do it. previously of today it was always took a couple cranks to start then within the past few weeks it started getting worse where it would take a bit longer. Then this happened. now I question could it be the idle air control valve or a fuel pressure problem? im not sure. any advice to this would help me out a ton. :(

You can get a guage to check fuel pressure, which would be first thing to do, but unfortunately almost always these types of issues are the opti on these years of cars.

Sounds like a fuel control problem to me, such as an ect sensor. The sensor is sensing a false temperature adding too much fuel and creating a hard start problem. That would explain having to work the throttle to get it to start (more air when the throttle plates are open). I'm not 100% sure that's your problem but it would be something to check into.
