long time to start in the cold

when i turn my civic over when it is col like 40 - 50 degrees, it take a while for it to start. I will turn it over for about 5 - 7 seconds and maybe it will start, but not always. sometime i have to do it again.

Anyone know what I should do to fix this before the really cold of the winter comes?

Check your spark plugs, and whether you're getting spark all together.

Re: long time to start in the cold

it starts, and it runs, but it takes a while for me to start it in the cold. My spark plugs are alway black for some reason. I think im running rich.

Re: long time to start in the cold

Well that could do it. I had the same problem with my car a year or 2 ago, and as soon as I replaced my plugs, the car starts right up with no problem. And it sounds like you need to replace them anyways, whether that's the solution or not.
