I was gone for 8 days and came back and my car was really reluctant to start and has been ever since. It also stalls out in first gear occasionally, especially when accelerating from a stop. The oil has just been changed. Any thoughts/suggestions would be incredible. Thanks!

 

Do you live in a cold climate?

Water in your fuel/bad fuel?

Weak battery/ignition system?

When was your last full tune-up?

Is the check engine light on?

 

Fairly cold climate (Albuquerque)

Put in new gas from Chevron

Could be a weak battery

Had a Jiffy Lube checkup, but nothing more extensive in a while

Check engine light comes on when it's cold, but not otherwise

 

Check your ECU for stored codes. It is OBD1 so there is no quick plug in tool to read the codes. You need to use the Honda Self Diagnostic method to retrieve any codes. if you are not familiar with it. It uses the Service check connector located in the passenger side footwell. it's commonly referred to as the paper clip method.
