2002 Honda Civic car wont start on really cold mornings

How long is it cranking for? Do you notice a difference depending on the amount of fuel in the tank?

Reason I ask is because I have a `00 Civic LX (different model generation) and it tends to have a slower start (4-5 seconds of pressure on the starter on first start) when I only have 1/2 tank or less; when it's above that, it usually comes on it the first 2 seconds of pressure on the starter.

I also notice more "pep" and "pickup" when the car is over 1/2 a tank also.

Another thing I used to do when I owned a Jeep was to press on the accelerator twice quickly before starting. That seems to help on colder mornings and helps speed up the start.
