The temporary fix is to hold it to the floor and crank it till it
starts. That one's in your owner's manual..The CURE is to find out which
injector is bleeding down your fuel rail pressure when the car is
sitting. Running a can of injector cleaner, or a few qanks of Gasohol
thru it might fix it forever. Try a Google search for flooding honda or
whatever and see if there's any better suggestions.
