Exclamation H22 Cold Start Problems, Need Help!!

What's up peoples, it's been a sec since I have been on the forum. I need some guidence. I successfully swapped an h22a into my accord a couple years back. The only engine code I was throwing was EGR related. Fastfowarding to this past year. As it got cold my car did not want to start. I would take the plugs out and they would be wet from gas. I wasn't sure if some sensor on the car was telling the car to dump fuel when it didn't need to. Since then to try and correct the problem using advice and gut feelings, I replaced or rebuilt the entire distributor, coolant temp sensor, fast idle valve, spark plug wires, fuel pump, fuel filter spark plugs, oil pressure sensor, ECU and I am still having this starting issue (only when the temp begins to drop). The only known issues I know are the egr valve according to the ecu may be having some issues (low/high lift something) and I have a small crack in my exahust manifold. Both of these issues I think are separate from my starting problem. Has anyone experienced cold start issues that they were able to resolve? If so I am in dire need of help since winter will be fast approaching in months to come. Thanks Paul

Maybe you need a new battery. Otherwise I would say try the ECU. My P28 has a weak start signal therefore it either takes real long to start on a first try or I turn it twice.
BTW. What ECU r u running?

What you would also try to do is to take out plug #1. Connect the wire boot on it and have someone try to start the car while grounding the butt somewhere on the motor. You should see a spark. If you dont then your problem is probably your battery.
Also make sure your coil is fully functional.
