Default 2004 accord engine cranks but won't start.

Hello I have a 2004 dx accord. Lately when I try start it the engines turn fine but it won't fire up. I can see the "green key" so it's not my immobilizer... After a few tries it finally start. Right now the temperature is cool here around -10 Celsius. Could it be the main relay? I heard that relay problems are during the summer? Once started it runs fine no hiccups plenty of power.. Also though it was condensation in gas thank causing problems... Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks

Yup, some water in the fuel can cause it to die, but it will usually start and run till there is no fuel left because the water has frozen in the fuel line.

Diagnosing this is like trying to get a hair cut over the phone, it's hard. Any number of things could be the problem. Weak battery, tired spark plugs, and it's just plain cold come to mind.

I really wish I could help more.

Well I happen to see a honda tech today and he told me if I see the "green key" blinking while starting the car that it's the immobilizer not recognizing the key. It only happens when my wife uses her keys... I manage to start the car with mine... So next time it's acting up I'll check for that blinking key...
