Hi, my Honda Odyssey´s (2001) engine turns on really slowly when it´s warm (it usually helps when I add gas) and also when the car is not moving (eg. traffic jam or lights) it sounds like it´s going to die, however, it never did. What do you think this might be caused by? And how much app. would the repair cost? Thank you.

Hi there,
It could be a few things, but the most likely is a leaking intake hose or at best just a dirty intake system/ airflow sensor. It's best to have it checked by a mechanic to make sure it doesn't lead to something that could leave you stranded.
