I HAVE A 1998 HONDA CIVIC DX NON VTEC WITH 180000 MILES. I REPLACED THE TIMING BELT, NEW FUEL FILTER AND AIR FILTER, NEW DISTRIBUTER AND SPARK PLUG AND WIRES AND EACH MORNING IT STARTS UP FINE, BUT WHEN I TAKE OFF, IT BOGGS DOWN FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN PICKS UP, IT DOES THIS UNTIL IT WARMS UP, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHT IT MIGHT BE, THANKS, THOMAS

Check the coolant for air and purge it. The IAC valve could be clogging and in need of cleaning. The EGR valve could need to be cleaned or replaced. Those are a starter, there are other possibles. You've done some other basic ones.
