Bought this car with 133k miles on it, started fine when I got it in Florida. Brought it back to NY and it was cold and hadn't been driven in a few days. The car turned over without starting, took about 3-4 minutes of trying to start the car before it would catch.

Started just fine when it hadn't sat, then didn't drive the car again for about a week and it did it again. It wasn't terribly cold, mayabe 40 or 45 degrees this time.

Any suggestions?

 

Fuel level? When you initially turn the key to the "on" position can you hear the fuel pump run? Two seconds after the key is turned to the "on" position can you hear a relay click...listen carefully?

 

I'll check it out this weekend when I'm with the car and let you know. Fuel level was half or more each time. No problems starting the car when it had been started recently.

 

I hear the pump and the click

 

It appears to be a key issue. One honda key starts up right away, the other turns over but doesn't start reliably. Weird

 

Then its an immobilizer issue. The key may need to be reprogrammed or the key is going bad.

 

Interesting...never heard of a Honda having that issue...learn something new everyday.

 

Immobilizer for sure. I have 4 keys, and only two start the car now. The others will crank forever.

 

Do you see the green key flashing on the dashboard when the key is on acc position ?
