I have a 2002 Honda Accord and I was on E, went to the gas station put $10 in the tank and it wouldn't turn on and I had to have it towed home. I replaced the fuel pump and it started for like 3 seconds and turned back off. It will crank but not turn on.
Es esta una buena pregunta?

Hey Crystal.
3 things needed to effect the start - compression in the cylinders, fuel, and spark.
Assume you have compression, for the time being. You can easily check to see that you’re getting a spark through the spark plug wires. If you are getting spark, this rules out the distributor cap, rotor, ignition coil and igniter. If you aren’t getting spark, these parts (just mentioned) need to be checked to determine where the failure is.
If there is spark, then you can move on to the fuel aspect. My suggestion would be to use starting fluid sprayed into the air intake (after removing the duct for the air filter) and try to start up. If it starts, let it run a few minutes, then turn it off and try to restart it like normal. If it restarts you might assume you were simply out of gas when you refueled, and the system lost it’s prime (and now that’s solved and you’re good to go).
If it won’t restart on it’s own, then consider there’s a relay for the fuel pump that is not uncommon to fail. It’s located under the dash on the driver’s side, and although it’s a pain to get to, it’s a simple replacement, if that turns out to be the problem. Then of course there’s always a chance it could end up being an issue with the fuel pump, fuel filter, or even a fuel line, too, if everything else has been ruled out.
Hope this helps. Good Luck!!
