Honda Passport started, and shut off moments later. Won't start

The vehicle is a 1998 Honda Passport 4wd v6
Recently, one of the bearings inside a serpentine-belt pulley fell out and destroyed the belt. I replaced the pulley and belt myself, following the diagram in a Haynes book I bought from Autozone. Everything went together fairly easy (very easy in comparison to replacing this vehicles starter), maybe even a little too easy. I was able to muscle the belt onto the top pulley by hand, as one of the lower pulleys gave just a tad when I pulled hard enough. (as if it was spring loaded)

The car started just fine and ran for about 5 seconds before shutting off. It won't start now. It's not even trying. When I turn the key, for a few moments it sounds like it normally does when I start it, then for some reason that sound goes away and all I hear is the starter winding. Is my problem related to the belt I just replaced?

AS long as the belt is turning properly the belt is good & has nothing to do w NO START. Double check the alarm/cutoff and all the fuses. Start w the basics. Good luck

SOURCE: 1995 Honda Accord will not start

First you must check to see what missing. You must have spark at the pugs and gas at the injector for this car to start. See whats missing and get back to me. The 1995 Honda Accord has a history of bad distributor. If there is no spark at the spark plugs replace distributor. However on some models the coil is separate and not in the distributor, if so make sure the coil is working.

SOURCE: I have a 2002 Honda

Ok so that wasn't it. Three days later problem came back. Replaced battery cables. Problem goes away for another few days. Came back again and found what I think is finally it. Engine Cut Out Relay in the power distribution box. (of note the expert told me there were no relays in the ignition system) Although the local auto parts store's computer said they did not carry this relay, I took it in anyway and they matched it up with one off the shelf. $7.50 and I am running good as new. Hope this helps some of the rest of you. Also, the wiring schematic in the back of the Haynes manual was also an invaluable assist on this one.

Make sure you check timing and the belt. if it spun don't risk putting it back on. Hope you got a new key. TIMING is important so you don't stick a valve through the top of your piston

My 91 honda accord is squeaking when i start it then it goes away

Hi:
That type of squeak is usually caused by a loose or slipping belt. You should check or have someone check the condition and tension on the belts and tighten them as needed. I recently put a new belt on my daughter's honda, and a couple weeks later had to re tighten it, as it stretched a bit after installation. A little more tension on it, and it is good to go now!

Will not start (no fuel pressure)

put your emergency brake on, in park, foot on brake, and have someone lay on the ground and rap the fuel tank at its lowest point (this is where the fuel pump is) at the same time crank it to start, if it starts decide where you want to take it to avoid a tow bill and dont shut it off till your there. otherwise if it does not start, when was the last fuel filter replaced!

2001 Passport transmission, rack and pinion replaced at 65K miles

Let's start with some facts. Honda, until 2006, didn't build any "trucks". Your Honda Passport actually began life in the Isuzu Rodeo assembly line. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, just no what you were expecting.
Isuzu makes very reliable trucks, but I think you've just had a run of bad luck. My 95 Isuzu Rodeo was retired after 275,000 miles, but only because some moron rear-ended me very severely, and it wasn't worth repairing, body-wise.
My 5-speed manual needed to be replaced at about 240,000, but the V-6 engine had never been cracked open for any major work. It did, however, have a somewhat loose rack/pinion.

2002 honda passport ex starts fine and then dies moments later-then will not start again, then I put it in nuetral and it starts

Classic symptoms of low fuel flow. I'd start by replacing the fuel filter (that's fairly cheap) and getting the fuel pump checked - it may be getting ready to conk out on you (not as cheap). Getting the injectors cleaned may help also.

If the fuel delivery system checks out, then the throttle position sensor may be bad.
