Long sputter before starting. Need help.

I have been trying to figure out why my car is acting the way it is. Most times after I leave it sitting for a while it will sputter like crazy before it starts and occasionally I had to give it some gas to start too. Now though, I got my distributed cap and rotor replaced along with new spark plug wires and re-gaping my plugs. It runs good now, used to have a rough idle and stall randomly. Now it just sputters on start ups but if I start and stop it a few times it will start up with little to no sputter, mad sometimes if I drive for a while it'll start back up pretty good too, but if I leave it sit for a while it sputters. I have a code 32 on the code readings it goes 12, 12, 12, 32, 32, 32. And repeats like that. I was told it could be the starter or I think someone also said it could be the fuel pump relay. I am not sure. If anyone has any clue on what might be going on please help me out. I will really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.
