I have a '98 Accord Ex that has a problem starting here and there. I'll try to start the car and it just cranks but won't start, if I switch and use my other Key (not the valet key) it starts right up. Then I can drive it for a bit, shut it off and start it again with the first key.

Has any one heard of or had this problem before?

 

Moved to the proper section

 

When it doesn't start, is there a flashing idiot-light in the shape of a green key?

 

I don't think so, but I don't really remember. I'll look the next time it does it.
