My car did that too I took a while to start and it was because I put too much Oil in when i did my oil change :doh: I dunno if that could be your problem but its just a suggestion

hmm mine did while i was running 15w40(no it wasnt in the summer, it was in the winter), if you dont know 15w40 was designed mainly for diesel cars. considering i was broke, and my parents had extra 15w40 for my moms mercedes i stole 4 quarts and ran it. i think it might have caused a few problems while it was in there, but i started using 5w20 and it seems to run fine. so make sure you are using the correct type of oil

15W40 is way too thick for a Honda I4, especially in winter... so yeah, that'd do it.
