Default 92 EG Hatch won't start without starting fluid

Hello I have a 92 eg hatch with a b18 swap. For some reason it won't start unless I spray starting fluid into the manifold first. Has anyone had this issue before or know how to fix this. Thanks

Do you know what ether/starter fluid does to your motor? Using it every start will ultimately dry the Pistons, rings and cylinder walls of oil. Most issues where something is used to start an engine are fuel related. I just hope for your sake you figure this out sooner than later. Thank God this isn't a diesel.
