I have a 1996 Honda Accord EX. When I start the engine when it's cold it starts yet hesitates as if it's going to cut off. This happens most often in the mornings when I start it for the first time. I replaced the fuel filter, air filter, CAM Shaft sensor, spark plug wires, and had the fuel injection ports clean yet the problem still exists. I noted that the problem is getting worse. This morning I started, the engine initially hesitated but didnt' cut off. I let the car warmed for about 1 minute and drove it about 2 miles to the store. I turn the car off for about five minutes. I didn't start afterwards. After several tries the engine eventually started and idle very roughly. What could be the problem?

 

welcome to the forum me2usee3; enjoy your stay. It may be your fast idle thermal valve and or the idle air control valve. also check for vacccum leaks at vaccum lines , around fittings.

 

Change your distributer/coil, sounds like its missing, and not firing on all cylinders.
