Default 2000 Accord won't start

Hi, everyone. I have an 2000 accord v6 and the car won't start. It cranks, has spark, compression and it doesnt show any error code. I left it at a parking lot and few hours later it won't start again. I have checked the alternator and it passed. I have no idea what is wrong.

Duh, should have thought of that. To the OP, does the relay click once when you turn the ignition on? Or does it click multiple times? Or can you even hear it click?

Only three things make an engine start -- air, spark, fuel. If you got air and you got spark, then you have a fuel issue. Which could be a relay, pump, filter, etc. Did you test spark? Mine accord had spark but it wasn't good spark. Saved me a lot of chasing around once I figured that out.

I'd do the sound test lazlong suggested. Also will it start with starting fluid and then die? Or does it not start at all -- even with a shot of starting fluid?
