What is your question?
The car has difficulty starting when the engine is cold. Replaced the Fuel Pump and Injectors. Have the problem narrowed down to the Automatic Choke. How can I clean this myself? or is this something that I need to take to a Mechanic?

sorry, no automatic choke on fuel injected vehicles. there is a coolant sensor which if it is out of range, will cause a cold start issue. i reccomend letting a shop check it for you and give you a bid. Roy
If yo have a fuel injected car (you say you replaced the injectors), there is no automatioc choke, those are only found on carbureted cars. You may be getting the auto choke confused with the Idle Air Control (IAC) that regulates idle speed. It's possible that you could clean it yourself but if this is not something you're familiar with, you may want to see a Honda specialist for diagnosis, here's a directory link for you: http://repairpal.com/honda-repair-in-des-moines-iowa Roy's answer is good too, a coolant temp sensor could be part or all of the problem, but I think professional diagnosis beats swapping parts trying to get lucky so get a diagnosis and go from there.
