Accord Cold Start Condition
I have a 96 accord ex w/AT. I had an earlier post that talked about similar problems.
The latest is that when I startup the car first thing in the morning on a cold morning, it will idle ok for 15-20 seconds and then start to run very rough... sounds like it is missing regularly on 2 cylinders, barely staying alive. 15 seconds later it comes out of this and idles well. Drives fine for the rest of my trip.
On warmer days, the rough running will start immediately when I start the car. same 15 or 20 seconds of shaking then ok.
On hot mornings (75+degrees) the condition is hardly noticable.
I put a timing light on several of the cables and noticed that the light would skip when the engine was running rough, leading me to believe it is an ignition issue.
180 K on engine, new plugs, wires, cap, coil, igniter within past 20K
Thanks for any suggestions
