Default Car dies on first start of the day

Hey guys this 1999 Accord dies usually only on the first start of the day. This leads me to believe it might be the intake gasket. BUT then today it was nice out, started fine, then it got rainy and cloudy here in Milwaukee and then it didnt start. THIS makes me wonder if its something with the ignition.

PLEASE HELP ME!!!
Thanx
The newB Travis

Uh, how can you tell that it's the intake gasket if it died once? Did you pull a code?

how exactly does it die? does it start, then peter out or does it just take two starting attempts to get it going?
