Does your car have a distributor?
EDIT - forget that I did not look closely at the pic of your car but your name has 89 in it.So.......

If the problem still exists after the plugs and they were gapped properly then you could do the wires as a next step.
I would also change the fuel filter as it could be clogged. I have seen 1 case of a faulty fuel pump causing symptoms like this when cold at start up.

Try cycling the key on and off 3 times Before you crank it....this allows pressure to build....Do it slow....on 5 seconds ,off 5 seconds....3 times....then crank it and see if its easier to start ,,if so,,,,fuel pump,,clogged fuel filter, bad fuel regulator,,etc....
