the issue is starting the car the first time in cold weather at 36 degrees last time.. did the fast idle set up and did the back off 3/4 of a turn from seated position.
why only in cold start first start up ? problem and yes bleed the anti freeze and topped off..New plug and wire not OEM from honda, air filter too.. NAPA..parts.
After the first start the car starts fine….97 honda predule v tec.
Cleaned the thottle body out and sprayed off all the carbon deposits and vanish.. Any further tips welcome.. Thank you all.. have a great week.

David, Thank you for the tips. but have already replaced the plug wires with new over the summer with new plugs. Had the Distr replaced two years ago oil shaft seal leaking to cap. May change the fuel filter today. under 20 dollars..

Hi, maybe someone could offer some help for me, have my kids honda 97 predule/ v-tec, with hard starting issue in cold weather. Adjusted the fast idle valve assy. like on Eric video and turned it to full seat and backed off quarter turn counter clock wise.. Car started fine the next few days with no issues(possibly thinking because of the warmer weather). But then the weather turned colder at 36 degrees.. The problem started again and my kids missed work and class due to this. Have a spare electronic air control valve assy.. But like Eric says i don’t wish to throw parts at the problem… Have replaced the plugs and wires,cap,rotor, and a new distr. since the old one started leaking oil. Heard that maybe a fuel filter maybe the issue ( not ) but it time for replacement … Any help welcome.. Thank you..
