Default Not A Major Problem, But Concerns Me

Ok well I have a 97 civic ex manual and when I go to start my car for the first time (cold start) I hear it start for a half second then it stops. When I try to re-start it starts right up. It didn't do this before and only just started. Not sure if its just because it's cold? But last year it never did that.

I'm not sure how to really explain it lol...

I'll try in steps to give a better idea.

- I push the clutch and brake in and try to start and get a half a second start sound before it doesn't even try to start at all (as if the battery was completely dead and doesn't wanna crank).

- I re-try to start for a 2nd time and it starts right up without delay, but I had to release the clutch and brake and apply again for it to crank.

Sounds like poor connections @ the battery, starter or ground straps.

Also you might want to load test the battery.
