weak fuel pump or leaking fuel pressure regulator would be my guess. Overnight the pressure bleeds out of the system so the engine starves at cold start.
Does it crank more often before starting if you don't give it the 3 second waiting period?

all i have noticed is when i turn the key immidiately without giving the 3 sec period, i can hear the engine is cranking and the car will start up, but very sluggish, the RPM will be about 200 and than shoot up to 2000 right after the choking. it's hard to describe but it's like the engine is trying to start up but something stuck the fuel injector from pusing the gas into the engine, so the car will choke, then seems like the fuel is kicking in again, so the engine will soar after, what a weird problem. also the dealer where i bought the car from, the RSXes there seems to have the same problem. have u experienced the same before?

I'm bringing my car to the dealership on 10/30, they have to fix the clunking noise in the springs and first oil change. I live in New York, and its getting cold here too, but my car does it all the time, it didn't do it when I first bought it, but its getting worse. So I should be able to tell if it works.

It appears that I have the exact same problem that you have. I purchased my 2006 Acura RSX (automatic transmission) in late June 2006 and shortly thereafter, I began hearing a squealing/whistling noise coming from the passenger side after exceeding 65 mph on the highway. I took the car to the Acura dealer, and they decided that I needed a new power steering pump. After replacing the part, the noise persisted. This time, I insisted on taking a diagnostic ride with a technician, who heard the noice, and decided that I needed a new speedometer. They replaced the speedometer. After replacing the speedometer, the noise persisted. On the third trip to the dealer, I had another technician ride in the car. This time, they decided that it seemed like the noise was coming from the passenger side (which I told them all along). After inspecting the car, they decided that the problem was that a piece of insulation came loose from the passenger side strut. After this third attempt, the noise abated for about a week, but then popped up again. I took car to the dealer for a fourth time, and they decided to replace both struts. Yesterday, I was finally able to take my car up to highway speeds, and the noise was produced.
I decided to research California's "lemon law," and found that if the dealer is unable to fix the problem within a reasonable number of attempts, a buyer is entited to a replacement vehicle or a refund, minus a reasonable charge for usage. I am a law student and my father is an attorney, so we decided to write a demand letter to Acura.
It's good to know that I'm not the only one with this problem.

Hi,
I had the same problem and the dealer (Radley in VA) diagnosed it as an improper windshield seal. They resealed it and I have not had problems since. See messages 922 and 923 for more detail.
