Default My car wont start

My car wont start, I think it has something to do with something with my feul equipment, but i was having these problems for nearly a month and when I was able to get my car started it ran till I parked it and turned it off I just dont hear any humming from my fuel pump and I replaced my main relay around 7 months ago. Any thoughts on this issue will be much appreciated.

Ok, behind the rear seat is an access cover for the fuel pump. Check there to see if you have power to the pump. Note, unless turning over the engine, you should have power there for about 2 to 3 seconds, before the relay drops out. What you're looking for is to see IF you're getting power there. If not, it's forward (like at the main relay or the ECU or the fuel pump fuse. But, if you are getting power there, then you're looking at replacing the fuel pump. The idea is to determine where the fault is (pump, or relay/power to the pump). I believe the wire you're looking for power on is yellow, or yellow with a black stripe (it's been a couple of years since I was in there on my 97 Accord). Note; if you decide to replace the pump, go with a Denso pump, so you're not back in there replacing it again.
