Re: 2006 Accord won't start mystery
 

Sounds like a fuel injector is leaking. Had this problem on my Rodeo years
ago. Once the injector was replaced, all was well for years.

Wrong symptoms.

The OP said it was happening after sitting only a few minutes. A leaky
injector will usually show up after the vehicle sits for several hours.
That's why it most often manifests on a Monday morning. It can take a
whole weekend to drain the fuel rail pressure one drop at a time. Engine
ends up totally flooded and owner has no idea to check the owner's
manual for the (temporary) fix.

Unless it's really sticking wide open, which could explain the problem
happening in just a few minutes.

Check out the lemon law criteria in your state. After a certain number
of repeated attempts to repair the same problem you may be entitle to a
replacement vehicle or your money back.

John,
Excellent post. The OP should visit this site:
This is related to the lemon law in California and the laws in other
states should be about the same:

I purchased the car in Maryland but I live in Virginia. Which state's law
applies?

I suggest that you contact the service manager and manager (or owenr) of
the Honda dealership and tell him that you are considering going to the
news media and filing a lemon law lawsuit if they refuse to solve the
problem. For example, they should replace the injectors under the warranty
program. If that does not solve the problem, they should replace the main
relay. If that does not solve the problem--every item (elec. and mechan.)
related to the fuel flow system should be replaced. In addition, the
ignition should be replaced since ignition system problems are common in
relation to Honda vehicles. I don't understand why they have not already
done these things.

In regard to your question, my guess would be Maryland and the original
dealer that sold you the car would also be listed in your claim. You may
also want to do a carfax report to find out if you really are the original
owner. For example, google Maryland Lemon Law and Virginia Lemon Law.
Also googel carfax--it's probably carfax.com
