My b16 will never start from the first try when it is cold what could be the problem

 

more info please

 

Well it once it is warm it will start right up, but when the engine is cold i always have to give it exactly 2 trys to start up

 

Could possibly be a main relay..

I don't think it's the main relay. Try adjusting the throttle stop screw on your tb. I had this problem when mine vibrated out. After getting a replacement, I had to adjust it so that the throttle lever was slightly open. By adjusting that it added a tinge of fuel. It was enough to make the car start on the first try.

 

i already adjusted the tb and its not it, how do i konw if my main relay is busted

 

Look at the main relay and find pins 1 and 7.. Put a jumper in there and try to start the car.. If it starts on the first try where it wouldnt before then your main relay is bad..
