Does this occur even as the car is warming up? Or does it
only occur after, say, 20 minutes of driving?

How old are the ignition coil and wires? Are they both OEM?

http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/startproblems.html discusses
the importance of the wires being OEM and in good repair. A
check of their resistance should yield under 15k ohms each.

Make sure the air filter is fairly new.

Drive the car until near empty, then put a bottle of Chevron
Techron (around $6 cost) into the fuel tank, and fill up.

How many miles on the car?

Coolant system been thoroughly purged of air (fan comes on
TWICE during the procedure)?
