Ok guys...i need your expertise again. I live in Los Angeles and its been getting cold...around 60ish during the day and 40-50ish at night. From some reason, my car doest start as it usually does. It usually starts instantly, but lately because of the cold i think, it takes about 4 seconds of holding the key in the ignition. Could the cold weather be a factor? its just the early morning start-up. After the initial start-up, its fine the rest of the day. Thanks guys.

 

Sorry...forgot to add that its a 1991 EX F22A1 SOHC Non-VTec

 

It's like 15-20 degrees in the morning here in Colorado. My Civic starts up fine first time around. Do you wait until the fuel pump is primed before turning it over?

What's your maintenance history look like? Replaced cap n rotor recently? How old are the plugs?

 

I dont know...prolly a year. I've had my car for about year. Evrything was changed when i bought it; belts, hoses, oil. I dont know about the rotors or anything about the plugs...its an automatic accord. It usually starts when i turn the key, but lately the weather got cold and thats when it happened...

 

I would say pull the plugs and check what condition they're in.
