Default 2000 Silverado V8 Sputters to Life

I haven't posted here for a few years but glad to see there's still lots of activity here. I have a 2000 Silverado pickup that just passed 100k miles. Always well-maintained and runs great.

Latley, especially when engine is warmed up, the engine will sputter before it starts up. Also will idle at low rpm for a few seconds unless I blip the gas. Once it's running everything is fine. Any ideas? I haven't looked at the plugs in a while, could this be a sign that one or a few are dying?

Thanks

Cool, thanks both of you. I will check the plugs/wires first and see what the deal is
