    Hi, thanks for any help in advance...
    I have a 1999 Honda Odyssey. I have never had any trouble with it until
    it recently.
    This is only happening when I start driving the car for the first time
    everyday. After I pull the car into the street from the parking lot,
    the car is "choked" for a second when I press on the gas pedal; the car
    will not go forward but will stop instead, and then will push forward
    rapidly. This last for only a second and will go away after a couple
    of times.
    If I try to warm up the car for about 10 minutes before I drive the
    car, the "choke" will feel much lighter.
    All the spark plug wires seem to be hidden, and I don't smell any fuel
    from the exhaust. The oil change is done regularly.
    Any ideas what is wrong?

    Your owner's manual says that you're not supposed to 'warm up the car'.
    Run a can if injector cleaner through the gas or at least a couple tanks
    of Gasohol (read your manual if you don't understand Gasohol). Your
    injectors may just be grungy, or you might need a tune-up. Once you've
    got the injector cleaner in it, try hitting redline on the tach once in
    a while to help flush things through. Don't do it in playground zones. :)
