Hey guys, i havebt had any car questions in a while, but one came up recently as the cold set in.I have a 92 honda accord LX 5 speed, and i noticed that when its cold out side it dont want to start untill i give it some gas. like i turn the key to start it and all you hear is the starter but untill i give it some gas, it dosent wanna start up. sometimes it will, but i give it gas most of the time. I dont think it is a problem, but if it is could you tell me and could you also tell me why? it donsent really bother me except for the fact that i deliver pizza and it gets annoying sometimes. Thanks in advance

 

turn on the key and wait till the CEL goes off, then crank the engine.
try this and see if it helps

 

well i tried that today and it actually started up for like half a second and then died on me, after that i just gave it some gas and it ran fine. anything else sound unusual?

 

Could be a cold start flooded condition.

Fresh spark plugs and dist. rotor?

Clean the throttle plate area, might help too. Berrymans B-12 and a toothbrush.

 

yea, it is cold out here in the commonwealth(PA) my 94 does the same thing cranks slow then fires up, i usually do what hondadude said wait for your CEl to go out then turn the key
