Take a few seconds longer in the morning, and perform the Lamp Check, so
your fuel pump has time to pressurize the fuel rail. Then start it.

the manual for our 2005 (EX VTEC) says slow starts can be the

My 99 is like that too, in fact if it gets too low it takes forever to start
even though there is enough gas to go another 80 miles (2 gallons).
