I have an 88 honda prelude, and when i go to start the car say in the morning it takes a while for it to turn over and when it does turn over it idles rough for a few seconds. Now after the car has been ran for a while for any period of time it has no probloms starting at all. It only starts rough after it has been sitting for about 8 hrs.

well you are loosing fuel pressure due to a leaking injector(s) or a bad fuel pressure regulator to check the regulator pinch off the return fuel line leaving the fuel rail and when starting the vehicle againremove the clamp and if the vehicle fires right up you have a bad regulator if not you may have a leaky injector.
