Hey everyone I needed help figuring out whats wrong with my motor. I have a b18 C1 swap into my 2000 civic and it has trouble starting. Every time I turn on my car after letting my car sit for a few hours, the motor struggles to start, then it kicks on. But when I drive the car, shut it down, then start it again about an hour later it starts smoothly. I was wondering if it could be my ECU? or if my regulator isn't pumping enough fuel? Below is a list of what I've done to my motor so far and what I've recently replaced. Please help if you can. Thanks.

Engine:
AEM CAI
AEM fuel rail and regulator
DC headers

Replaced recently:
Spark plugs and wires
power steering pump
oil and filter

Well, this would be better if it was in the honda area considering they would be much more able to help you. If anything i would just say your engine is cold and its harder to start when its cold. it could also be your AEM fuel rail and regulater.
