99 Honda Civic EX starting problems, need help!
I have a 99 Honda civic ex with a d16y8 in it. The code on the motor tells me that it is from a 97 civic. I have been having problems starting it first thing in the morning. When I go out to start it, at first, it doesn't want to start. If I keep trying to start it, and just tap the gas a little bit, it will eventually start. But after it starts it kind of sputters like its going to shut off. When its doing that I hit the gas a little bit and after a few minutes it will stop sputtering. And then the rest of the day it will start and run perfectly fine. I can't figure out what the problem might be. Just last weekend I did a tune up on it and replaced the spark plugs, wires, cap, button, and module and coil in the distributor. But it is still not wanting to start in the morning. If any one could help me, that would be awesome!

The Check engine light is on. I am getting ready to change the oil this weekend, I just bought it a lil over a week ago so Im not exactly positive when the last one was done, but i do know the guy I bought it from and he is pretty good at keeping up with stuff, so it shouldnt have been too long ago. I did change the air filter when i did the tune up.
