Al- I'm having the same problem with my wife's '88 LXi. The car would almost turn over and die immediately. After a few tries and a little gas, it would start and run without any problem. This would re-occur whenever the engine was cold. According to the factory Honda service manual, the problem might be the fast idle solenoid (just like Vinny said). I took it off the car to check it out and clean it up. After re-installation, it started immediately for about 2 cold starts, but my wife said it was acting up again last night. This leads me to believe that this is, in fact, the problem. It appears that this is one of those items that's like a thermostat--when it goes, it needs to be replaced. The manual also says this item isn't user serviceable. I'm not sure how much it is, but I'll probably replace it soon and let you know what happens.
