Engine Performance problem
1996 Honda Accord Two Wheel Drive Automatic 180000 miles

when it's cold outside the car will start right up and run for about 20 sec. And go dead then it will start right back up and go dead again, I have to start it about 20 times and then it will stay running when the engine heats up. In the summer I dont have this problem, once I drive it and the motor holds some heat I dont have no problems even if it sets all day in 30 deg. Weather

Does this trip the check engine light? I might suspect a sensor such as the engine temp sensor. What about you other car gurus?
