My 98 1.6L 170,000 miles LX civic seems to take twice as long to start in the morning. I change the battery last month(14.5 volt while car running, Change spark plugs, new air filter, new fuel filter, new pcv valve last week. Replaced wires, cap, rotor last year they look ok and measure within spec. I even use fuel injector cleaner
does not seem to help the problem. The car drives normal in the afternoon when I leave work. It starts up right away! The engine sounds normal and runs at
34MPG . What can be wrong? Any info will be great.
Thanks in advance! Great website! :D :D

Try the coolant temperature sensor and the cold start injector might not be coming On that's if it has one-
