What do you mean it's hard to start? Like the motor turns over slowly or does the starter just click? or the car turns over but just doesnt start up?

Code 23 is the knock sensor.
Get a compression tester, and test the engine when it's cold and when it's "hot" (warmed up).

Re: Car hard to start in the Morning ..Help !!
just out of curiosity, which engine and ecu do you have?
at first i thought you had an obd0 setup, but after seeing code 23 come up i'm guessing your running obd1?

Re: Car hard to start in the Morning ..Help !!
Well, there's your answer. It's hard to start because you're running untuned and dumping in 1.6L worth of startup fuel plus cold-cranking enrichments and you're only running a 1.5L.
Try cracking the throttle a little bit next time you start it cold (maybe 5%), it'll probably start more easily.
