I just bought a used 2000 Passport. One month later I have a major problem. In the morning car starts great, but when I drive 15 miles to work and try to start 9 hours later, car sometimes takes 3-20 times to start. It will try to start, but just won't turn over. When it finally starts, it can be restarted over and over without problems. It is intermittent, so doesn't happen every day. Car sounds and runs great afterwards, until the next day or so when it happens all over again. When trying to start, it doesn't smell flooded or anything. It cranks fine, just won't start.
It's been to the Honda dealer twice, but they tell me since they can't reproduce it there, then there's nothing they can do. I'm afraid to drive now since I don't want to get stuck. It's definitely not the battery (will try to start and besides, it's brand new and was checked by dealer), and just passed the 45,000 mile inspection at the dealer with flying colors.
Anyone have any suggestions? I don't want to just blindly replace parts unless I know for sure they are bad. The dealer is charging me a small fortune!
