ive owned my 03 euro for about 2 months, i bought it with 95ks on the clock and have experienced these laggy and sluggish starts I first got that sinking feeling of 'ohhh godd i bought a stuffed car' but i now understand its a common problem, it only happens every so often, i believe it only happens when i let of the key to early when starting, if i hold it on start until its started it usually starts fine but it still takes between 3-5 cranks :|, i sorta figured it was because if the high compression. its almost embarrassing when it barely starts , people see this nice flash Honda and then hear it start :S lol.
