Ericthecarguy is a youtube channel on auto repair. He was an Acura/Honda master tech and has a lot of videos on how to do repairs. One of his videos on bleeding the air from the coolant is on a mid-90s accord that is similar to yours. A large percentage of his videos are use Honda/Acura vehicles.
Check for engine/transmission codes. Go to the common DIY thread on top of the gen tech help forum and open the CEL (check engine light) code retrieval.
If you bought a Honda engine coolant temperature sensor (ECT sensor), go ahead and install it after you drain the coolant. Just keep the original one in case an issue with the new one pops up.
The one piece of advice for DIY car repair is to diagnose the issue before assuming your problem/fix is the same as someone else's from a different thread. It will make you a better troubleshooter and save you money in the long run.

I checked his video. That bleeder sure helps. They should do that on all cars! Thank you. His channel is pretty good!

I will check the DIY section. I am still new here, snooping around, learning the forum.

I did install it. No, it didn't make a difference. Just seems to be when the temp drops below freezing out, is when it gets harder to start up, for the first start on the day. The prior owner replace the fuel lines. Pressure line...etc.

Yes, you are absolutely right. The car runs great. I must admit, I am very happy. I just need to figure out the start issue when its really cold out! Once it is started up, it will start after that all day long with no problem. Still kind of lost.

Misc info - if your trunk starts getting damp in the rain it might be the seals around the tail lights.

I am at 185K, I hope to get many more miles. The trans fluid is very clean, all new timing belt, head gasket etc. And no rust. Odd for my area!
I haven't put any thought yet into modifying at all. I am afraid to hurt the dependability!
