------------------------------

If it 'quit running' are you saying you were moving at the time and it
died? If it 'failed to start' that's a different story. If you ever find
it spins but doesn't start after sitting overnight / weekend, just read
the Owner's Manual and follow the procedure for 'flooded engine'. Hold
the pedal to the floor and crank it for up to 15 seconds at a time. It
will start with a puff of black smoke and will run poorly for several
seconds. Then run a can of Techron injector cleaner thru it OR a couple
tanks of Gasohol to clean up the sticking injector. It happened to my
Odyssey and I never had the sense to READ THE OWNER'S MANUAL.
