So I bought flooded 2008 Honda Odyssey, and of course it does not work. So then i bought another 2008 Honda Odyssey with some small accidents. I decided to removed everything out of the flooded Odyssey and took the parts from the other Odyssey and install it back into the flooded one. (The other Odyssey works perfectly) I literally exchanged every part one by one from scratch and the frame was the only thing left. After all of that, I tried to start the car but the engine doesn't go off, but everything else works, the doors, windows, etc. In my head I would think its because of the computer, but it would be the same parts. Besides from being in a different frame. So I don't understand why it doesn't run. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Paul.

Wow, Paul. You did a lot of work. I have to ask you if you checked the engine to see if there is spark and fuel getting to it.

Let me know.

When I try to start the car the engine does not even start. Since it is a 2008 Honda Odyssey it has a computer box, it should have start the starter when I turned the key but it made no sound at all when I try to start the car. I have a feeling it might be the computer malfunctioning. I don't know what's wrong about the computer though.
