Start with a basic compression check. Get a reading of where the internals are.

Yeah, you should get a compression check done. Does the crappy starting have anything to do with ouside conditions like weather? My car hates cold weather. Also, are the injectors ok? As far as I know, most fuel injecot cleaners do next to nothing. There have been several threads devoted to that subject. I dont know whether the injectors would cause it to have problems like that, though.
