If you've disconnected the fuel line and are sure there's no fuel
pressure, put the key in position II, and smack the dash on the left
side of the steering wheel. You'll hear the fuel pump run. Is it fairly
WARM where you are?
If you haven't proven (conclusively) that there's no fuel pressure, hold
the pedal to the floor and crank the starter for up to fifteen seconds.
It's way more likely that your engine is flooded. Your owner's manual
says that a flooded engine can started that way. Your fuel relay won't
fail by itself while "standing for a couple weeks", but your leaking
injector can drain all the pressure out of the fuel rail and flood the
engine. It can happen overnight too. It happened to my Odyssey. I ran
two tanks of Gasohol thru it and it never happened again.
