Why does my Honda Pilot keep cranking to start?
But when it has been running and warm, then it’s hard to restart. Yes it cranks excessively but will always get around to starting and once I touch the gas, all is fine. When cranking excessively I get a gas smell in through the ventilation, so it sure doesn’t seem to be a fuel issue.

Does it start any more readily if you leave the key in the ‘ON’ or ‘II’ position for a few seconds (to let the fuel pump run) before trying to start the car? Do you have any other keys on the same ring as the one for the Pilot? If so, remove them and see if there’s an improvement.

How long does it take for a Honda Pilot to start?
Most people feel lie 2 or 3 seconds are “forever”. IIRC up to 5 seconds is acceptable. We just get spoiled by the 1/4 second normal start. However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results. I don’t touch the pedal at all while cranking. Usually, you start the car automatically (and don’t think about it).
Why do I not hear fuel pump when cranking?
Battery cannot be the problem – I keep it well charged and use a Battery Tender when not driving it for several days. Before cranking it, I wait 4-5 seconds to allow the fuel pump to pressurize the system. I cannot hear the fuel pump running amid the other beeps and clicks when inserting the key and turning to position 2.

What causes a car to start at the wrong time?
Spark plug wires are a source of electromagnetic interference (EMF), but this is usually only a problem on some aftermarket setups when this interference isn’t taken into account. A timing belt or chain that has skipped a tooth will throw off the cam timing, causing the intake and/or exhaust valves to open at the wrong time.

Why does my Honda Odyssey crank for longer than normal?
A leaking injector is very possible. On a cold start, cycle the ignition key on to off several times. Each time you do that, the pump runs for 2 seconds. If you do that and get instant start, it’s a good bet you have a pressure issue. The question is, where’s the pressure going. My money is on the check valve/regulator.
Why do I have to crank the engine for longer than normal?
Battery is strong, but I have to crank the engine for 3-4 seconds instead of the usual 1 second to start the engine.

Recently had fuel tank seal recall done, but my issue with starting was happening before this.

Exhaust gas backflow into the intake manifold at engine shutdown may cause a poor mixture of intake air and fuel at the next engine start-up. Replace the fuel pressure regulator, if needed, and use the HDS to update the PGM-FI software in the ECM/PCM.
