yeah it sucks my friends does it allllll the time and he has to sit there and try cranking it over in short cranks for like 5 minutes lol. U can actually hear when it is about to not start. I guess the pump doesnt prime or whatever and hes like oh crap here we go. Supposedly alot of accords have this problem dont they??
