I've had an issue with my 93 EX since I bought it and the previous owner stated that they had the same issue. If it sits very long like overnight for instance, it misses for about 3 to 5 seconds on start up. The miss is very similar to a spark plug wire being disconnected. After 3 to 5 seconds go by it runs perfect. If the car is shut off for a short time it won't do it. And if it don't rev it up to about 2200-2500RPM's it will miss even longer or it did the first few times I experienced the miss anyhow. I haven't let it miss without clearing it up as soon as I can since the first couple of times so I don't really know. I want to say without pushing on the accelerator to get the rpms up it will miss for about 10-15 seconds then clear up. And when it clears up it's not like flipping a switch. It's gradual. Not slow but not instant if that makes sense.
What I discovered recently and have tested is if I let the fuel pump prime and shut off when turning the key to ACC before kicking the starter over it doesn't do it. It starts and runs as it should.
I know I should let the fuel pump finish priming before I kick the starter over but it still should not miss without doing so. If there is a component that is weak I would like to replace it before it goes completely out.
Only thing I can think of is a weak fuel pump. What are your thoughts?
I found this and I hope it's not the issue. http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=130063
