Default B16a starts then dies, re start its fine

So here's the deal. I have a 96 civic hatch. I'm
Storing it for winter. I start it up every couple weeks. It's just a stock b16a just put an intake on. And went to start. It idles for about 30 seconds does out. Then I re start it and runs fine. I don't know why this could be. Possibly from sitting, maybe the battery is on its way out? Some help would be appreciated! Thanks guys!

I understand that it loses all power?

I suspect that the contacts in the ignition. Honda had often such cases.

ITs only the first start that it does it. I can start it back as many times after and it's fine.

mine does the same, make sure your fluids are topped off, may have lost some while sitting
