It's a 1994 Honda Accord. Auto. Fuel Injected It's doesn't start when it's cold, I mean when it hasn't been driven for over at least 4, not necessarily when the temp outside is cold, although it may be also, just got the problem recently and it's not the cold season around here yet. Well, we try to start the car, sometimes it starts up and flutters right away, but then is fine after it warms up, and sometimes it even starts up and clunks and then dies, sometimes it doesn't start at all.

There is plenty of gas in the tank, and the battery is good. That's all it does. So I don't know what exactly is causing the problem. I don't know if it is just a gas problem or if it may be some sort of air problem. Maybe should I clean the air filter or I also heard from someone to check if it is the O2 (oxygen) sensor. Any ideas? oil was changed with a new filter less than 500 miles ago. adn as for going to an auto parts store for the code reader, this car has an older different code system, no plug in, you need to read some blinking light code on the brain under the passenger front side kick panel. but I may try to figure that out, the one who tried to do the code didn't know how to read this one...
