Default Why does my civic VERY hard to start cold but starts and runs fine after warm up ??

THis morning i went out side to start my civic and it was compleatly cool like 60 degress outside and the car wouldnt start i had to push the gas while turning the key and it started very rough but after i let it idle it would start fine
why is that ?

backgroung info : the days before it has been running hot like heat gauge peaked out while in idle but it was a hot day

Please help

Looks like you might have blown the head gasket or warped the head. Never drive when the temp gauge starts going up. Pull over and shut it off. I have seen way too many people destroy engines by thinking they can keep driving. Looks like you did the same.
