Re: Honda won't start in cold (below freezing) weather
 

No, no choke. The choke on carbureted cars was a valve (looking like a
throttle valve) that restricted the air flow upstream of the venturi,
thereby causing a richer fuel/air mixture for easier cold starts. On
fuel injected cars the mixture enrichment is accomplished by simply
squirting more fuel with the injectors when the engine is cold (as
indicated by the engine coolant temperature sensor).

=====================
Tom,

A 2000 Odyssey is fuel injected v-6... No carb, no choke.

You need to obtain an owner's manual and read it completely.

Honda block heaters screw into the side of the engine and heat the
coolant just the same way an electric kettle or coffee pot heats water.
They're around 300 watts, I think, and the Canadian Government has
determined that plugging you car in for more than three hours is a
waste of electricity. For really cold situations, there are delay timers
that will turn you block heater on a couple of hours before you leave in
the A.M., or you can just switch the circuit breaker on when you get out
of bed...

They're pretty much mandatory on the Canadian Prairies. The little power
cord hangs out of the lower grille, and plugs into household current.
People in warmer climes just can't believe we plug our cars in 'juzz
like a waffle iron' :-)

I don't presently have one, but electric 'battery blankets' are neat.
They're just like a skinny, 3 foot long electric heating blanket, with a
waterproof plastic skin on the outside. The wattage is very low, maybe
100 watts, and they go all the way around the battery to keep it near
room temperature. Big help if it's minus 40 and you have access to a
plugin.

=====================
Tom,

A 2000 Odyssey is fuel injected v-6... No carb, no choke.

You need to obtain an owner's manual and read it completely.

Honda block heaters screw into the side of the engine and heat the
coolant just the same way an electric kettle or coffee pot heats water.
They're around 300 watts, I think, and the Canadian Government has
determined that plugging you car in for more than three hours is a
waste of electricity. For really cold situations, there are delay timers
that will turn you block heater on a couple of hours before you leave in
the A.M., or you can just switch the circuit breaker on when you get out
of bed...

They're pretty much mandatory on the Canadian Prairies. The little power
cord hangs out of the lower grille, and plugs into household current.
People in warmer climes just can't believe we plug our cars in 'juzz
like a waffle iron' :-)

I don't presently have one, but electric 'battery blankets' are neat.
They're just like a skinny, 3 foot long electric heating blanket, with a
waterproof plastic skin on the outside. The wattage is very low, maybe
100 watts, and they go all the way around the battery to keep it near
room temperature. Big help if it's minus 40 and you have access to a
plugin.

Re: Honda won't start in cold (below freezing) weather
 

Just a thought, but I had a similar problem with my '87 CRX SI. Took
it to the shop, they couldn't find anything wrong (didn't charge me
*anything* either - insert plug for DR Honda in Chesapeake, VA), but
the mechanic did suggest there could be water in the fuel filter that
was freezing up. I changed the filter and haven't had a problem. Of
course, it hasn't gotten that cold yet this year, but I'll soon see...

Great post--I never would have guessed that replacing a fuel filter could
solve cold weather start up problems. You have a great mechanic.

Re: Honda won't start in cold (below freezing) weather
 

Well I'm up in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada where it's even colder than
Minnesota.
We have a 2000 Odyssey & a 2000 Civic, and I've found it helpful (but not
necessary) to plug in the block heater whenever it's below 15° F, especially
if you're parked into the wind. The sound of the engine starting is clearly
more effortless when using the block heater.
Needless to say, it is critical to use a block heater as temps drop below 0°
F.
Here's a riddle for you: What is another word for a Ukrainian block
heater?(I'm Ukrainian so I can tell this joke!)

Hi,
When weather starts getting cold, just pour a bottle or two gas line
anti-freeze when you fill up. Common sense thing. They don't cost much
either.
