Cold Start and loss power

[Freaksl]

Hey guys

my 93 EG8 is hard to start in the morning (cold start) ave to crank it like twice or thrice and floor the gas pedal.
is there a solution for this , after the first start in the morning its fine..

also I noticed that when im running with A/C on there is a loss of power in the car , but without A/C its just fine no problem at all,
what seems to be the problem ?

Think about it for a second. You have a small 4 cylinder motor that is built for economy and not power. When something like the AC kicks on that NEEDS power to run, the power has to go somewhere, hence the feeling of losing power. You will always loose power when the compressor kicks on only to get it back when the compressor kicks back off.

i see, there was bit of rattling noise (shaking) when the A/C is on , i thought its bit weird may be the first time experience in a civic, just got hold of it two days ago. a lot more to learn , thanks for the help mate
