I've changed the fuel pump relay, fuel pump, and checked spark. The vehicle still will not start. It does not have an inline fuel filter. When I pulled the plugs, they are dry. It ran 2 days ago, the relay and pump should have taken care of this. Any other thoughts?

do you have 12v at the injector plugs with the key on?

one wire on each should be the same color, maybe yellow...? the other should be a different color per injector. 99% sure that the common-color wire(s) should have 12V with the key on and the other wire(s) are grounded by the ECU to trigger the injector. could be simple like damaged wires, blown fuse or loose connection. could be less simple like a faulty ECU.

check engine light on?

can you hear the pump prime when you turn the key to the "ON" position? should last about 2 seconds then cut off.

There is not a check engine light. I'll check the injectors tonight. I do hear the pump prime when the key is turned to the on position.

I also checked all fuses in the interior panel last night, they are all good. Is there any other spot I should look for fuses and any particular one? Thank you.

Update, so I had a missing key and then had a new one made and reprogrammed. We found the old key and were using that to fire the car. Somehow when the new key was created, the old key lost it's program. That is the damn issue. OMG!!! Thank you HondaMark35! I'm still going to check the injectors, but we fired up. I guess we now have a new relay and fuel pump. Unbelievable!!! Greatly appreciate the input.

I guess it makes more sense that it would work this way... I always assumed a mismatched key chip would prevent you from turning the starter, but that would be less secure.

learned something new!
