2008 Honda Accord — delayed engagement into Drive when cold

I wouldn't throw parts yet. A pressure test beats staring at a dry driveway if the 2008 Honda Accord is losing coolant with no puddle. Don't erase codes until someone who can help has seen them. No need to make it theatrical. I've seen both outcomes, which is why I'd test instead of assume. Next check is the cheap one I can do in a driveway.

Intermittent stuff lies if you only catch it once. Get a real battery/charging test on the 2008 Honda Accord, not just resting voltage, before blaming a module. Don't erase codes until someone who can help has seen them. On “delayed engagement into drive when cold,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Learned this the expensive way on a previous car. Climate here is different, so treat that as a local data point. Doing the boring step first on purpose.
