Default Starting Problem

Anyways my 95 v6 i bought awhile ago and have just finally started driving has been giving me some starting problems.... when you go to start it in the morning and push the clutch and try to start it seems to struggle. I hold the key for a few secs and it trys but just can't quite start.. then once i let go of the key and try again it goes fine. and it seems to do this after it sit for a few hours, it'll start fine if i turn it off and go into a store and come out. What do you think this could be? someone i know think it could be the fuel pump not delivering enough fuel.

Also i dunno if it's just how a manual drives or if my car just has to many KM's on it but when were cruising threw the city and i'm sittin in the passenger seat i seem to notice that you can really feel when the driver takes his foot off the gas and puts it back on... it just seems to jump or something everytime he puts his foot back on. What could that be? Anyways any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like the starter to me. As for feeling when the driver is giving it gas that could be the person driving. I had a friend that drove like that, he couldn't apply the gas smooth and easy and it always made me car sick riding with him. You could try some WD40 on the throttle linkage on the TB in case it's sticking.
