03 Odyssey starting problem
Hello all,
I have an 03 with 10k on the van. Went to start it up last night and it just cranked. Had full power from battery. So did a nono- I pumped the gas pedal to make sure there was gas where it needs to be. I then tried to start it again, no luck. Then I fell back on the old carb trick to start a car. Crank the engine and pump the gas. Well that worked. I took to mechanic he found nothing wrong. So my question is, is it OK to pump gas pedal if that seems to work? I have to say it has only happen ONCE. After that problem it has started on the 1st shot everytime. Thanks, Dave- |

Check the manual to see how to start a flooded honda. You've got a leaking injector, which is draining the pressure in the fuel rail overnight. Holding the pedal to the floor (while cranking) is the temporary fix. Techron injector cleaner or a tank of Gasohol may solve it. Worked for me. Same symptoms.

Could this be it?
This is from a previous post: "Every Honda/Acura I've owned has had the starting problem you mention on the next start after a brief driveway shuffle - less when newer. I just quit doing that and now drive around the block till the coolant is up to temp, even if I just want to shuffle the cars. Since it's caused by flooding and might be aggravated by a slight injector leak, you might try a bottle of fuel injector cleaner in the tank on the next fill to see if it helps.
