Default 2000 Durango Rough Start-up

My 2000 durango has a tough time starting. I turn the key forward and it takes an extra 3 seconds or so before the engine fires. Once the engine fires it runs a little rough until I rev it up to 2000 rpm or so and/or start driving it down the road. I have been told maybe fuel pump or oxygen sensor, any ideas??

When was the last tune up? Sounds like spark plugs to me.

+1. Cap and rotor WITH plugs. Don't do one without the other.

swap the plugs and see how it goes. Use stockers or NGKs at the stock temp.
