Pull & check the plugs, and while they're out do a compression check.

Getting a little hard to start is it?

This sounds exactly like what my car is doing but i still have some isopropyl alcohol running through my system so that is my excuse.
The other reason this could happen is from a faulty TPS, or perhaps disconnected TPS, and also if your running pretty rich. Check those out.
Doing a tune up however is a great start.

could possibly be motor mounts, when is the last time they've been replaced?
