car shakes after start. can hardly drive it

Hi I have driven little lately and checked oil regularly. he still smokes at the rear at the start. but actually ran quite ok. this afternoon it wasn’t so cool, but it rained. the car generally starts a little weaker than he should. but there were no problems. today I strangled him once, because he had to start about 1 second bruacht (actually it was on the battery). when I started it again, the car jerked off. It’s as if the engine was falling apart. this shaking and jerking was very strong. I stopped it. what’s the problem? is that something harmless or am I about to have a motor damage? and: if it’s e.g. the spark plugs. do I have to have it repaired immediately? by the way: about 3 hours later I started it again, then there were no problems at all? (was a little drier and didn’t choke it)
