doesn't start right (When starting, the car smells like gas and you can see some on the ground. Runs great after starting though)

What do you mean by "doesn't start right"?

My e21 doesn't have a check valve after the pump like it's supposed to, which causes long crank times. The pump primes when you turn the key, but it still takes a couple extra seconds of cranking for it to build fuel pressure and start.

If you can see fuel on the ground it should be pretty easy to find the problem...

like, it starts in a nice amount of time, but i gotta give her the gas and keep it revd above 1k for a few seconds after it starts for it to idle after. otherwise itll die.

Nice! I used to own a 1992 e36 318is, it was my first BMW and first car, absolutely loved that thing. It was slow enough that I couldn't really hurt myself or get into trouble, but still fun to drive and got awesome gas mileage. I was regularly averaging 32+ mpg, which was helpful when I was a broke high school kid. I'd daily one again in a heartbeat. 

Definitely fix that fuel leak before you drive it anywhere, if its making it to the ground that's a pretty serious leak. First places I'd look is the fuel lines running between the chassis hard lines and the engine fuel rail. BOTH my e30 and e36 with m42's ruptured hoses in that area.
