95 Civic Trouble Starting

Car has been intermittenly having to start by blipping throttle. Fuel pump primes, battery is good, have spark and fuel system is basically 100% new pump to injectors. Ecu is good. Problem to me seems to be having air at startup and by blipping the throttle i get enough air to start. Doesnt happen all the time but today took several tries to start. Which valve controls air at startup?

Iacv? Does it only do it when it's cold or also after car is warmed up? Any idle issues? Sounds like iacv maybe getting stuck closed

Re: 95 Civic Trouble Starting

It has been colder and that may be a part of it but the other day it was just rainy mot necessarily “cold” and it took 4-5 times cranking and blipping throttle to eventually get it to go. First two times it happened it only took 1-2 tries. IACV was cleaned up not too long ago so could it be electronically not opening?

Re: 95 Civic Trouble Starting

Not sure what blipping throttle means???
Does this mean you have to step on the gas pedal to get the engine to start??
Pressing on the gas pedal will open the throttle to let more air in
And more gas will flow into the intake.
Are you trying to open the throttle or close the throttle??
Have you tried just spraying starter fluid into throttle??

I would assume that the adjustment screws on the throttle body has loosened??
