before you start you car turn your key to the last clickbefore it starts, there should be a beeping sound that comes on for about 6-7 sec, let the beeping stop then start you car. You need to let the pressure in the fuel pump build up then it should start right up. I have a gsr in my coupe and it did the same thing, then i read somewhere about a code 91, something about low pressure and you have to let the pressure build up for it to start.

just turn the key to the last click and hold it the for about 10 secs, then procede to start the car, you have to let pressure build up for the car to start up normally.If this doesnt work i dont know what to tell you.

Default hmm

once its warmed up...and you turn it off...
when you start it back up is the idling weird? (like you said)
if it is..check the SINGLE wire temp sensor under the Vtec selenoid
it is on the head next to a water hose...it happened to me...

this might be it because today i was doing some research because vtec is not working on my b18c1 and then I find out that vtec wont cross if u dont have the ect sensor working then I went to check on my car and it was cut , i gess I cut it when I took the head off imo . but then I reconected and I didnt tested because I was late for work so.. so that should be the problem
