Default No spark on cold start up - 1998 Civic EX

I have no spark on cold starts. It will turn over and then stumble to a start when i let go of the key. but its always a struggle to get it going. When it gets warm, it has no problem starting at all.

Anyone have any ideas?

how do you know its not getting any spark on cold starts, ignition systems dont work like that, they either spark or they dont, if your plugs are too far gone replace them, but if the car runs the ignition is not the problem, i suggest looking for another cause.

If it's a only cold start problem, it's more likely your battery than any other ignition component.
