Hello,

I have a 1998 Accord Ex Coupe. Has about 270,000 km on it.

Recently ive been having this problem with starting up.

What happens is when I start the car the rpm idles very low (car shakes more than normal) and dies unless I push and hold the gas. If I push the gas and hold the rpm high, the idle will become normal after 30 seconds of so.

This issue only happens around 1 out of 10 times of starting the engine. 9 out of 10 times it starts fine.

After the last time this happened, my engine light came on. The error is "Cylinder Misfire".

After reading some forums, it sounds like it could be the following:

- Bad spark plug wires
- Distributor cap
- Egr port needs to be cleaned
- Fuel pump

If anyone has any ideas about this, I would appreciate your advise.

Thank you
