not starting on first attempt

my 1986 honda civic cx lately (very unusually, as it always fires immediately) takes a 2nd attempt to start...engine then turns over but engine is then sluggish at beginning for a few minutes, as if all cylinders not firing smoothly like normal, then it just goes nice and smooth!)
this has never happened before on this car with me) I put the scanner on it at home and it comes up with errors: p0420 p0301 p0302 p0304 p1300 ..but I don't know what to do to fix it! any help out there!?? It talks of fuel and air metering ignition system mis fire....which perfectly describes the symptoms..now the CAUSE and FIX??? thanks!
