Edit: btw, they make these starter fluids that you can use to spray into the air filter or spark plugs to help with the ignition.
this might tell you whether or not it is fuel related? honestly, i've never used it on a car, but used it on an old motorcycle i had... helped me distinguish a problem (needed carbs to be cleaned). but then again, maybe you shouldn't use it to avoid harming the car further before you're able to take it somewhere for a more thorough testing.
