Sputter, bog, stall at startup

When I start the car I have to rev it a tiny bit to keep it running, just a tap after crank or it stalls. Any ideas of what this problem might be? I'm about to do valve seals because it burns oil at start up, think the oil may be the problem?

have you changed your fuel filter? i`d say get a fuel pressure gauge and check it.it could be a few things.
