This happens only in the morning(when its cold), it takes 2 times to start the car,first try it stalls, and second time starts right up?
 
Honestly, I have A 90 laser rs, and, a 90 ts-i...when it gets cold, i tend to have the same problems, i have asked many people- all i have gotten from them is, "rev it a bit to get it goin' and once it stays idleing...let it warm up for a few minutes" Does you car idle fine otherwise???

I would think it is just from the outside temp. Try a tune up unless you have done one recently.

Do you have a Turbo Timer??

My Greddy caused my GSX to stall (it was going bad). It would take me 5-6 attempts to do it so I took it out. Now it's not embarassing to start my car up.

My Greddy was off most of the time too.

I did everything to fix it short of buying a new starter - changed plugs, new plug wires, bought a new Optima battery. But it was getting worse to the point that it would not start at all. I was contemplating of selling it due to that problem too since my GSX had given me ZERO problems.

I took off the TT as a last resort and it did fix the problem. The car has never missed a start ever since. The funny thing was the Greddy TT was done right, harness and all.
