94 accord hard cold start

[b*saint]

Its not a BMW, its my other car. I know we all dont use our e30s for dd.

Anyways if anyone has idea let me know. It always starts but now that its cold its has a shake and sputter when it starts. I know its not the icm, because that usually works in reverse (starts great but wont run when its hot.)

Once the car turns on and warms up the car runs and starts like brand new. Any ideas? Im thinking the ignition coil. It has a brand new battery.

Well I did a tune up and found the spark plug wells were filling with oil so I replaced the valve cover gasket too. Old plugs were .020" too large on the gap. Since all the replaced stuff It seriously idles like brand new.
