Default Re: 03 Odyssey starting problem

Could this be it?

This is from a previous post:

"Every Honda/Acura I've owned has had the starting problem you mention on
the next start after a brief driveway shuffle - less when newer. I just
quit doing that and now drive around the block till the coolant is up to
temp, even if I just want to shuffle the cars. Since it's caused by
flooding and might be aggravated by a slight injector leak, you might try a
bottle of fuel injector cleaner in the tank on the next fill to see if it
helps.
