    I have a 98 Isuzu Rodeo (same as Honda Passport) that has a starting
    problem. Whenever the engine is cold, it starts perfectly, but after
    the engine has warmed up, it can sometimes take up to 10 times to get
    it started. It sounds like something isn't catching to actually turn
    the engine most of the time and it makes a whirring noise until I get
    lucky and it actually "grabs" whatever it needs to turn the engine.

    Is this a starter problem or something bigger? Any help is GREATLY
    appreciated!

    Most likely is a starter. If you hear the starter trying, but nothing
    happening then starter is the first choice
