'93 Accord cold start problem

[magna]

'93 Accord cold start problem 210,000 miles , Engine F22A6
Installed a new cold start valve but still have a cold start problem
every cold start. Also poor Idle , surge at idle but car drives ok
Engine light is not on
may I add that this is not a cold weather issue , it is every time the engine has cooled down. Even after one or two hours, or less during the day, I have this problem. I am a mechanic, and seem to be stumped. I have done all the basic things- new plugs, etc..
I am not familiar with the on board diagnostics, such as, how to retrieve codes from this age vehicle. But the engine light is not on. Sometimes, like over night, or more, if I give it a squirt of starting juice it helps very much, but I do hear the fuel pump cycle like it should. Do not know what to do next!!

ANY SUGGESTIONS?
Thank you

your battery could be going dead test it and then if it is bad get a new battery and check your alternator that could be going bad also...keep me posted on this issue im pretty sure its your battery or alternator not enough cold cranking amps to start it

To check codes you need to jump the service connector (2 wires in a green plug in the passenger kick panel area) and count the flashes from the check engine light if there are any. You can find more info from the reference section of this site as to how to count the flashes and determine which codes you have.

What specific problems are you having with starting? If it is surging at idle bleed your cooling system to start and check the fast idle valve to see if it is within specs.
