Default 03 accord , I need help!

I've got a 03 accord no start. She died at a stop light and hasn't cranked since. Been out of commission since past summer. Changed crank shaft and cam shaft sensors, spark plugs. Cranks, and cranks, but won't turn over. It has turned twice, but sounds like it's missing and putters out. Sounds starved for fuel, but I'm not really mechanically inclined. I can switch out whatever if needed, but diagnosing is not my strong suit. I need this car on Rd within the week and would really appreciate any help.

where my toiling has lead me

Possible issue (?)

Main relay
Fuel pump filter
clogged injectors

I'm sure there's a vast array of other things that could be it. . But this is where my research has gotten me.

C'mon Honda head, come thru for me please

p.s. fuel pump still humming like it should. No hesitation between turning key and hum, more or less sounds like it's fine(hence why I figure maybe the pump filter may be clogged up)

Have you checked for spark ??? When you hit the key, does the engine sound normal when turning over or does it sound different ??? If it sounds different, it may have jumped time. There is also a possibility of a bad computer... but this is unlikely since it is powering up the main relay and the fuel pump sounds like it is priming.

is it v6 or 4 banger ? Agree with Rockford. seen cars just shut of and for whatever reason the immobi starts flashing make sure that's not the case. if that's good go back to basics spark, fuel, is the oil good? low on oil can cause it to jump timing.
