Is the Honda Pilot cranking all the time?
Yes it cranks excessively but will always get around to starting and once I touch the gas, all is fine. When cranking excessively I get a gas smell in through the ventilation, so it sure doesn’t seem to be a fuel issue.
How long does it take a Honda Pilot to turn over?
So I turn the key and continue to crank while listening closely to hear it turn over. It oftentimes takes 5-10 seconds to turn over. And even when it does turn over, it seems to barely start. I do not understand what is going on!
What’s the best way to start a Honda Pilot?
Does it start any more readily if you leave the key in the ‘ON’ or ‘II’ position for a few seconds (to let the fuel pump run) before trying to start the car? Do you have any other keys on the same ring as the one for the Pilot? If so, remove them and see if there’s an improvement.
Why does my Honda Pilot not start up?
If not that probably a marginal fuel pump not holding pressure and allowing fuel to drain back to the tank. Leaky injectors can (but usually don’t) cause this issues also. Mines been doing this since I bought it too, it seems to get worse the cooler it is outside.

How many miles does a Honda Pilot ex have?
I have a 2003 Honda Pilot EX with about 116,000 miles on it. Since purchasing the vehicle at 100k miles, I’ve replaced the timing belt and spark plugs along with other normal maintenace items such as oil changes, new brakes, brake fluid change, transmission fluid change, differential fluid change, etc.
