buy a K&N filter. your filter is probably clogged. If you have a carb then spray some cleaner in the carb

Cool! I'm takin' my air filter off right now! :D

(This sounds like a job for Nate)

dont leave your carb without a filter. You'll ruin your engine that way. Get a K&N for gods sake man.

[ACCORD EX]

get any filter if you don't want to get the K&N !
DON'T LEAVE IT LIKE THAT !

Leave the filter on.

Does the problem only happen when you start the car?
- I'm leaning towards a choke problem at the moment.

I agree with A20A1. Now that I think of it, that's why I got my Weber. The choke was not working and I needed to keep on the gas to make it run. (not fun in winter) I might think about getting an electric start put in mine. This shop said they could put it in a manual.

The problem only happen when i start the car.

yes, mine you actually have to leave your foot floored to the gas petal to start so itll start, if you take it off it turns off, when it finally warms up........YAYYYYYYYY!! lol
