Looking for help to fix my 95 Odyssey starting problem.
Symptoms : Engine will start every time I turn the key but then stop immediately. Seems to be when the weather is hot (unconfirmed). Pressing the accelerator does not help.
Other times the engine will start and run normally so the fault is somewhat intermittent.

I have checked the ignition switch and the main relay. Both good. Also just spent money to have the immobilizer removed thinking that was the fault.

What else could be the problem ?

Have you checked your fuel pump?

Thanks for your reply...Been so busy lately. Shoulda come back here earlier with what I found.

All the symptoms just didn't add up to a usual sensor, wire or component failure so I went straight to the PCM.
Found a couple of capacitors swollen, split and leaked their juice onto the circuit board which could also have created a short.
I cleaned the board up and replaced all 7 onboard capacitors with quality low ESR ones.
Car has been starting reliably since the fix.
