rough cold start in the moring

I realized i have rough start in the morning. it do it every morning, sometimes it lag take 3-4 second to start or it just very rough start. I don't know it is my spark plug i have i got ik22 or it just getting cold in cali. Another thing is.. in morning when i first turn my steering wheel it make a squeaky noise after 1 or 2 squeak it gone. I check steering fluid it look fine. after everything is warm up it fine it only happen in the morning.

It gets VERY cold here and mine starts fine most of the time. Get a new battery and plugs. Also turn the key to ON and leave it there for a few seconds before cranking the engine to build fuel pressure. I'm sure that will fix it.

yeah, as gearbox said, turn it on ON, wait for the Maintenance required light to go out then start it. Honda actually recommened that for my mom's Odyssey. ALso, what oil grade are you using? If it's getting "colder" in SF, try going back to 5W20. I'll be switching to that on my next oil change.
