Default Help! My Honda is having issues with starting. Details are...

Hi,

I am new to the forum and I thank anyone in advance for ideas or suggestions.

I have a 2004 Honda Accord LX Sedan 4 cyl. It has about 65,000 miles on it.

This morning, I tried to start the car and it was having issues turning over as far as I could tell. I took some video of it to better show what I mean:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkR68PaddcY
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4eZbxaxkXw (may need to turn up volume on this video to hear what engine is doing)

It would eventually start, but at times I would turn the key and it would just keep trying but not start. Does anyone have any ideas as to the cause of this? Thanks again!

also, my airbag light comes on randomly at times and will go away for weeks on end or if I turn the engine off and turn it back on. Does anyone else have this issue?

Videos didn't really do any thing to help?
Except I notice in the second link that you do not allow the fuel pump time to run up pressure.
Does the engine turn over slowly?
That would lead to battery terminals connections, weak or coroded.
As well, poor/low voltage can cause the SRS light to come on.

After you fix the starting problem...
If the airbag problem remains, remember that should still be under warranty.
