Mine has done it since I've owned it (almost new). I think it's normal for Hondas to crank hard or sputter a bit after they've been sitting around for a couple of days, because I know a few others that do it as well.

No, that's definately not normal. Get the battery checked.

mine's done that for 2 1/2 years now. did it on my sohc, still does it after swap. I'm on my 2nd battery too. I can only think of 2 times that it didn't start and I had to wait a min or so before trying again, then it would crank. I always thought that was normal.

Tune UP!

plugs, wires, fuel filter, air filter, cap n' rotor, get fuel injectors cleaned, etc


Could be a compression problem, but thats unlikely
