Default 2002 Honda Odyssey will not start in cooler weather or mornings...

I have a 2002 Honda Odyssey with a little over 200,000 miles & it's recently been giving me a fit with starting in the morning, usually when it's cooler (below 50 degrees). On hot Summer days it seems to have no problems whatsoever, but as it cools it's less & less likely to start until well after the Sun comes out. Some days it's Noon before I can get it running. Any ideas?

Try turning the key to "run" position for about 5-10 seconds before turning it to start position. This technique will allow the fuel pump to prime.

It turned out that pumping the gas allowed it to start.
