Hi! Previously when cold it sometimes sputtered, but after I went 2 weeks out from the country it has been making it in every cold start, not on hot. (Since I had my V it has bad gas mileage, maybe this can be the root of the cause). Squeaky clean TB and IAC, new-ish Autolite platinum plugs (0.044), oil change and filter (10w30), I adjusted the valve lash 2 months ago so that's ok, new af sensor, etc. Also, If I disconnect all 4 fuel injectors and crank the engine I can listen that compression wise is fine. Thanks for all your help!

I dont here a sputtering I hear surging.

Fyi: wrong oil. 5w30 not 10w30 and never ever put autolite plugs in a Honda. Those plugs very well may be the problem if its misfiring. NGK plugs.

If its surging it's one of 2 things (but your in mexico it sounds like and so such thing as really cold anywhere in that country :p) either your cold bypass valve (forgot what the stupid thing is called) is bad or idle air control valve is bad. Just because its clean means nothing, the electronic part can be failing.

Mine sounds just like the video on cold start for the day. Been that way since I bought it, haven't gotten around to fixing it yet.

Thanks, I'm not in cold weather, probably my cold starts are 90 degrees cold starts. I did all the spark plug thing almost 1 year ago, and I had no issues with that until now, today it almost couldn't start, it was cranking for at least 3 seconds until it woke up. I think is getting worse, because it only happened sometimes, now after leaving my V 2 weeks without any use it does it every morning, and does it if I leave it 4 hours without use even in the sun. I disabled the bypass valve because it was sucking air even in operating temperature making my car burn a lot of gas. I know Autolite plugs are not the correct ones, but the NGK are stupidly expensive at least here :(.

I'm sorry, do you know how to change the forum? I didn't notice it was in the wrong one!
