Idle did seem a bit higher than normal but I thought it was just due to the colder weather. Fluid level looks good. Not sure how old it is as we just purchased the vehicle about 5000km ago. No CEL at this time

What is the idle speed when you have the problem? Does the CEL work?

You should also drain the ATF and replace with Honda or Honda-recommended ATF.

When it starts up cold it is at about 1500rpm but goes down to about 1100 after about 10 seconds. Eventually settles down at about 800-900rpm. The harsh shifting into gear can be felt at all these times. Would the fluid cause this issue over the coarse of 24 hours because it ran perfectly fine until this 'no start' problem occurred. I just went out to check and the CEL is on now. I will check the code tomorrow and post in this thread.

okay so I bridged the service connector and got codes 41,65, and 70
41 and 65 are o2 sensor codes and 70 says automatic transaxle. Not very specific.

O2 sensor codes -- Check whether 7.5A dash fuse 15 is blown.

Code 70 - take your car to an auto parts store to have them pull the CEL codes with an OBDII code reader. Post the OBDII code.
