Default 91 civic problem cold start

Hi,

i have a 91 civic sedan 5spd that has been giving me problems by the begining of this winter. everytime i starts the car in the morning when its cold its starts as if the battery is dead then its starts to catch up n after a long while it finally starts. Other times it wont i end up putting the car in 2nd gear n let it roll while i press and release the clutch n it turns on. BUT when i drive to work and shut the car off n back on it starts jus fine. i jus recently replaced the starter bout a week ago and jus replaced the ignition switch as well....is their any idea of what the problem could be??? ohh and by the way the car has 171k mles on it

thnx, Bilinger
