99 Honda Accord won't start cold

shanonia - thanks for your reply. When I turn the key to start the engine, it turns over beautifully, but simply won’t fire up and run. There is no green key icon on the dash to suggest that the collision shut off is the problem. It seems oddly temperature related, like to the point where just minutes of sunlight on the motor cause it to then start just fine. Furthermore, it has been at the mechanic for the last few days, which have been unusually hot in San Diego, and so it has started fine for them each morning. Frustrating! What is the deal with your Civic? I like the idea of tricking the fuel pump to spray enough into the motor by turning it off and on a few times…in a pinch I’ll try that, although I would really like to solve the problem as well.
