There is a recall from Honda with regards to Ignition switches which can cause problems like this.
Another area of interest would be the main relay; which not only operates the fuel pump..... but powers the ECM as well.
Call Honda in the morning about the ignition switch. If you give them the vin, they can tell you if it's involved. If it is, they'll fix it for the "0"
Start there

I'd start with the phone call to Honda first.
THEN we can think about the main Relay.
The relay is actually two relays in one housing
1) One side powers the fuel pump (w/ign switch is in the "Run" Position)
(It's bypassed w/ign switch is in the "start" position)
2) The other side powers the ECM (Engine Control Module
)
