Crx Cold Start? Help please...

[HondaCivic4358]

So my crx was just fine after the swap and everything, ran great, still does, but it starts for like half a second then shuts off, it just started doin this yesterday. if i give it some gas its will start up within a few seconds. but the throttle response is different now. i live in michigan and i dont have a heated garage, so maybe my gas line is frozen? i am a lil low on gas but its not on E. could it be my fuel pump? im thinkin about gettin some gas line antifreeze aka "HEET" and see if that works...suggestions....

don't dump none of that crap in your tank...honda didn't design their cars to burn "heet".
It's normal for what you say...
I'm guessing that after you start it on a cold day and go to rev the motor, the rpms drop and the car is about to stall out or it does stall out.
This is normal...especially for swapped cars for some reason.
Don't worry about it...just let your car warm up to operating temp before you rev it or drive it.

Also I forgot to mention, your cold starting problems are in part due to your 2.5 inch exhaust. That is much too big for that motor regardless of mods. I would suggest a 2.25 or maybe even a 2 inch. 2.25 would be better for I/H/E w/ cams setups. You'd actually gain a few HP with the smaller piping and your cold starts would improve.
