Hi honda-dude,

1. Yes, you got it correct for this one.

2. Seems the idling speed is too low for cold start and it could be caused by :
a. Misfiring cylinder or 2. Do you have coolant losses or overheating problems?
b. Clogged air passages for the intake system which reduces the idling speed. Cleaning of the throttle body and Intake Air Control (IAC) valve should help.
