It cranks a while before starting, like its not getting fuel or spark right away.
I've checked a few places for parts, but didnt really dive into it. Not really interested in doing much beyond the intake and exhaust (got a miata that eats all my mod money). Did you use 96-98 Accord intake/exhaust? Have you found shocks? Those are impossible to find.

mine did that when it was wet, it turns out that i had a cracked distibutor cap and one of my plug wires was bad...i used a universal fit HKS powerflow...200 mm with a 80 or 90 mm coupler pipe i think...and a sebring universal exhaust...

Does the hard starting happen when the car interior is warm, or hot. Also, does the problem always happen, or during certain occations, then start fine at other times? One classic Honda/Acura problem is the main fuel injection relay. Hopefully it is as simple as that for you in this case.
