Default cold start....will not start!

My girlfriends accord ( and i posting this here because we prelude owners are obviously more intellegeant when it comes to cars because we do not have accords!) will not crank sometimes. It seems to be when it is cold outside. I know when accords will not crank because of it being hot, it is the main relay inside the car...most of the time. I have been thinking of the possibility of the ignitor going back, because the f22's are internal coil, well atleast in 4th gen accords. Has anyone ran across this problem?

WELL TRY TESTING THE BATTERY OR CALLING THE PARTS HOUSE TO SEE IF THE BARTTERY IS THE RIGHT ONE FOR YOUR CAR. IF U DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT CCA THEN THE BATTERY WELL DIE AND THE CAR WILL NOT START. AND ALSO TAKE THE STARTER OUT AND GET IT TEST AS WELL!

Check the spark plugs, they may need replacing.

plugs are brand new. I was thinking the distributor. Internal coil or maybe the ignitor. Anyone?
