Default sparkplug

hi there, i bought my car 3 weeks ago and im already noticing that the feels like loosing energy or electricity when i start my car. the last time i start it, took like 5 seconds before the car start. so im thinking it might be the sparkplug. anyone have this problem on their car or that how s2000 is like.

when temperature drops or humidity changes, the car's ecu(brains) will also have to adjust certain variables for the engine to run properly. In your case, it sounds normal. Make sure when you start it, your not giving any gas, it will give the ecu an idea of how much fuel to give when you start the car in a colder temperature.

Yeah I have the same issue and found out it's quite normal. Sometimes turning the ignition key on waiting for the sound of the fuel pump to finish then off and on again a couple times before starting helps. It seems to be fine if it doesn't get that cold in the evening but if it does I get a rough start first thing or a bit of a clacking start coming from the starter.

Apparently removing the starter, pulling it apart, and giving it a good cleaning helps or getting a new starter but the problem reoccurs eventually.

Depends how old the current spark plug is and the specs. Just do regular start ups for the next couple days and the car should fix itself...it's a honda...you don't have to tamper with it much
